Joey,
    Whenever you meet with the new mayor, you ought to refer him to the fact
that MS has now sprung software audits on 25 school districts in the Pacific
northwest. (It's been a hot topic on the www.schoolforge.net mail list
lately.) The predatory pressure is getting intense.
    The biggest concern many MS users have had against switching OS is that
they might not be able to access their old files. Well, as of 5/1,
www.openoffice.org released their FREE office suite which is fully
compatible with all MS Office 2000 formats. Maybe hizzoner might be
interested in saving the city a few (hundred thousand) bucks.
