The reasons are usually that they don't know about the system, or they are not willing to learn, and they might not be able to provide support for other faculty/students, or answer people when questioned (by Management or others, for example). So, generally, they like to play it down by imposing *authority* over wisdom. Sad, but true! But, not all are like that. There are also good faculty in colleges, who put down their ego, and realize that when they studied they didn't have such freedom of software or opportunity to learn, experiment and share knowledge, but, are willing to put the migration effort so the students/faculty can benefit from them. --- | even if the change is for good hope we can change things I am | always doing something in that respect so started installing Firefox on all | systems in whichever lab I go with the help of Local lab assistants (Thank | God atleast they unserstood my point) and some of my classmates \-- Good. Be very patient when working with them. It takes time for things to change. Thus, it is also important to have periodic workshops for all. Only when you, and others persist, and persevere will everyone see light at the end of the tunnel.
