[Lvlug] M$ markets Linux to schools ;)

Dann,

 I thought of our conversation at the last meeting when I was reading this 
article:

http://www.oregonlive.com/news/oregonian/steve_duin/index.ssf?/xml/story.ssf/html_standard.xsl?/base/news/1021982499141752.xml

After learning of your battle with Win98 and the tight budget you are working 
with I thought that articles like this might provide some amunition in your 
fight for open sourcing your school.

I understand that your school has made the inflexible demand for Front Page 
compatibility but by showing that they are literally paying hundreds of 
thousands of dollars for that "right" might just be enough incentive to get 
them to drop it.

By following up on some of the references in this article you may find 
further ammo for your arguments. I understand you can't just go to your boss 
and have the entire school district policy change but you can drop these 
articles in public areas for him/her to discover.
