Thing is he works in IT and trys to work out good and Bad....

What I find amazing about Schools for example they have to pay Micro crap
a lot of money for licenses for the OS and it ain't small let me tell you.

Where as Apple its one fee unlimited OSX on as many machines as you have in a school.

As for iPhone all I can say is I don't have one because its

1. Tarrifs are naff.

2. no 3G

3. Camera

These are the only things it lacks thats important all the REST just require Apple software upgrades. Which they do all the time.

Unlike most mobiles out there the iPhone can be expanded all the time only the hardware is stuck as it is. In the World of mobiles today is out of date.

Next version around Feb 08 I reckon

Ms licenses for schools aint that bad just a tad over £50 for an os and the office 2003/07 package.

Half the time if you buy a pc it comes with pro so not bad at all.

Bring back the BBC 'B' thats what I say!

I disagree, I think that is bad.

I'd rather have another teacher's salary paid than have my kids memorise the menu system of microsoft products.

most folk which work with computers fall into two camps.

Those that could pick up any system with minimal training and effort because they are repeatedly doing general tasks which they use a computer to achieve.

Those that are doing more complex tasks on a computer, for the benefit of other computers.

My IT classes at school were a waste of time. If I needed the first I didnt require MS licensed products. As it happened I required the second, and would have been better of doing proper certification with oracle/cisco/whoever.

If you were to buy the office package then you be looking in excess of 300 quid so small stuff really.

What everyday job that requires the use of a pc ie office work does not ask for in the job description that the knowledge of excel, word, etc etc would be an advantage.

Like it or not MS is the industry standard because it is easy to use.

I to am conversant in MS servers including exchange(NT- 2003) linux,citrix, oracle. Thin clients as well. what seperates me from the rest is my certs mcsa, mcse, etc etc. The beauty of ms is that it is pretty much what most are using then ms certified ppl are going always pretty much have a job that pays well.

When I studied IT in school windows as we know it was not really availble to the gen pop because desktop pc's were not really finacially viable to the everyday person. Hey my first real computer was an apple back in 83ish. The pc revolution came along with bill aand hey windows opened up home computing to the everyday person.

As for teachers.....hows it go....oh yeah....
Those that can do!!!! Those that can't....TEACH!!!! lol

I can't complain about MS as it has given me a very comfy lifestyle.

Anyway as I said bring back the BBC B.

[Ashley Davis]

oh, sorry, been a bit busy with heli build videos.

I'll probably have a look at some point but it won't be for a while yet.

[pompeyjohn]

I'll keep randomly bashing keys here and if I get anything to work I'll post it here.

[pompeyjohn]
