So because we find something difficult we should shy away from

telling people you'll teach them to use a PC by using a typewriter.
Unity is here and it's staying, so anyone learning to use Gnome 2 will
either end up using Mint, or have to learn everything over again for
Unity.

Bea has done really well getting through the MS smoke screen in her
setting. I think she should be writing it up for IfL or Excellence Gateway.
I understand and respect where you are coming from.
Email me direct off list if you want to explore the issues that face
people in institutional education. I'd like to engage with you on this
one because the more people understand the issues about getting open
source into education the better.
