interested in your reaction
I did complete their web form a fortnight ago and have as yet had no reply. I hope this is not indicative of the support scenario.
As far as I am aware Learning Pathways do not have a monopoly on the distribution of Star Office. Talking to Sun in the USA they knew nothing about them and were rather surprised by the £100 per school charge which I guess is for the support. I am currently trying to contact the relevant part of Sun UK to clarify the position because IRL Computer Systems Ltd are a Sun Star Office Now partner. I intend to distribute Star Office 6 with a full SOW including assessment and lesson plans for KS3 a la new NC so that there really is an education reason to switch to Star Office. We will then gradually build more applications around Star Office with a view to filling the CD with useful materials. Regards, -- IanL
