	G'day Clarky .. 
	 
	Perhaps not the only choice, we happily provide both MS and
OpenSource installations on our college base workstation image and I am
only teaching IT with the OpenDocument format.

Choosing the right technology for each situation, Roland? Spoken like an
IT professional! 

Even in Novell or Windoze schools, I've seen no shortage of (and have
introduced) The Gimp, Firefox, Apache, Squid - as well as their
commercial equivalents. 

As you demonstrate, if people don't like a particular implementation,
they can vote with their feet - whether replacing it or just
supplementing, there's always an alternative.

	PS: I'm at the Athletes Village .. watching the long jump with
the others and looking up all the stats on the system here. Cool stuff
to share when we meet up next .. :-D

Yes, it'll be good catching up ... but you can admit it, you're at the
Village simply for the Xboxes ...  :-)

Cheers,
Clarky
