your tech that due to the increased cost of software you are forced
to let him go!!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#800040 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#800040 size=2>On a serious note - audacity is
neither freeware nor shareware - it is open source software (and if he doesn't
know what that is he doesn't deserve to be a tech). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#800040 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#800040 size=2>Ask him to download the file,
install it on one machine which is isolated from the network and then run all
the virus and spyware scans he can think of. When he is happy that the
installation process will not harm the system he can install it on all
machines.</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>Dear Sylvia,<BR><BR>I dare that technician to find a solution
to your dilemma. If he/she<BR>can't suggest anything, then bad luck,
he/she has to install the<BR>software and monitor the network traffic for any
malicious activity.<BR><BR>He/she is giving a bad impression on ICT
professionals.<BR><BR>That aside, Adobe Audition is what I would suggest if
you are going to<BR>purchase (with a good budget though).<BR><BR>Btw, have a
look at this:<BR><BR>www.educationau.edu.au/papers/open_source.pdf<BR><BR>It
"will" help. : ) Audacity is in page 24.<BR><BR>Best
