There are a couple of possibilities for BETT: 1) OpenAdvantage are considering promoting OpenSource in some way at the show - watch this space... 2) Schoolforge UK are currenytly looking at forming a consortium of FLOSS suppliers into schools - this would enable small providers to share such costs - and also provide a more resilient service to schools. Please have a look at: http://www.schoolforge.org.uk/pn/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpWiki&file=index&pagename=HardwareCertification and then join Schoolforge, put your comments and help us build a viable way forward on this one. ===== rgds, Richard Rothwell -------------------------------------------------------------------- rind (n) acronym for 'rind is not defined' ____________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
