Hello James. I think ole Ian needs a pint of brew! If it wasn't for OSS, we
would all be Microsoft slaves. Yes! It is about hardware, and yes it is about
software. The issue is how much can you save on software by replacing
commercial with open source software. This is what makes IT a black hole in
regards to resources. You can throw the whole kit and kaboodle into IT and
still not have what is needed to succeed. With proper use of OSS, there can
be savings had and many things learned.
As for "No Child Left Behind," believe me when I say that this has caused
more problems for schools than any other law I know of. I don't believe that
our federal government should be getting involved in state matters. But then
again, have you seen some of these kids? That is right, they should not be
left behind, they should be shipped out!
