And i guess secondaries feel obliged to use MS office > as they see it as "industry standard." There used to be a saying in the computer industry which was "Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM". I think it's shifted to Microsoft. Speaking from experience, most school "IT department heads" don't know that much about IT. They perceive it as a 'safe' option to go with MS, every if it costs a fortune, because "everyone else uses it".
It's a classic circular argument... Lee -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
