Well- I don't want to bring this up again for fear of angry retribution!
However, today I got notice from my College that I will HAVE to use MS
Project Software for my latest course unit. Period. Before getting
notification about this, I had looked at the excellent Mr Project for
Linux--which I believe does allow Gantt graph design (though limited at this
time).

Anyhow--so much for choice! I have had to wipe off my Mandrake install
(which was fresh) and put on Windows ME (since I won't pay the money for
XP). Straight after install, I got a BSOD; I have also had to invest in
Antivirus software :-( That's something I haven't done for about two years
(thanks to Linux)!

Mayeb those screaming for more choice in ICT within schools and also for the
end-user should keep up their good work...otherwise this damned OS will
drive me MAD.

Oh well- at least my laptop still has Linux on it :-)
