I'm employed as an IT Manager.
Heterogeneous environments with Linux and Windows are perfectly acceptable
these days.
With Android pads coming onto the market, it's reason to have even less
Windows machines.
Modern Linux is perfectly robust and it all works like a charm so I don't
mind taking on

But they do - employers do pay you to use MS, otherwise their IT manager
might have to shoulder some responsibility. Kevin

Hi Patrick,
You know if everybody brought their teenage children (with their android
phones)
they'd all be sitting there in silence (apart from the sound of electronic

Regards,
Patrick

I have to agree with Erik De here (thanks for
clarifying the real ground on which the argument
stands, Erik.) and will extend the argument too.
This article reminds me that there are 'Alan

of media and it generally cheapens
Hello everyone,
This week we will again be trialing live streaming of SLUG! We have
successfully streamed both FP-Syd and SyPy using this set up, so I'm hoping
it'll be fairly stable. We will also be uploading videos of the talk to
YouTube shortly after the event (my goal is to have them up by the

I will talk a little bit about electronic trading, history and
