Hi Con,

User level stuff. I'm really looking for materials that would suit a 
student at about middle year level. Hopefully to allow them to make 
informed judgements about how an general user might decide between the 
two operating systems. These are not power users. If the material is 
already in a form that is suitable for classroom exercises, so much the 
better.
