WooHoo my very own fan ;-) I must admit its not all me, my boss Garry Saddington is the main drive within the school. He's busy working on "scholarpack" our MIS replacment for SIMS and Integris and I must admit its really looking quite good. In-fact I think he's even looking for other schools/people to try it out. -- ----- Kind regards Alistair Crust Systems Administrator Skegness Grammar School Vernon Road Skegness PE25 2QS TEL: 01754 610000 (ext'852) FAX: 01754 896875 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
