If you call in the BSA -- and you can do that anonymously -- for a current inventory and assessment, you can probably forestall any future attempts to jettison IT.
The problem is that most academic users are somewhat knowledgeable about what they want and need, BUT they are also spoiled to academic pricing and licensing processes. So, they often just throw on any software they want/need without regard for legalities (some educators are the worst pirates I've ever known, and I could give you dates, places and names). It's a shame that school boards and admin often try to save money by cutting the very people who keep their hides out of jail, but that's reality. A good offense is way better than having to defend yourself. Call in BSA for an independent assessment -- but be sure your own computer is clean, Clean, CLEAN -- or they will burn you. rb ================= Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
