If it doesn't work with XP and IE6 then what the heck does it work with? > I am beginning to feel compelled to start an argument with the course admin > about their reliance on this piece of software for their distance learning > option, There was a lengthy thread a few months ago about how to convince professors to use non-windows-only formats for required reading materials and class notes. I think the upshot was you can only be courteous and hope to make an impression while preparing to be ignored... In your case, you may not have much choice in that the professors may not have a choice as to what they use. It may be dictated further up the ladder. Certainly a polite conversation with the professor is in order, but be prepared to be frustrated. Hopefully, they'll understand you and maybe direct you to the right people to make a change. I think you should expect a long battle though _and_ be prepared to offer a viable alternative. That includes the possibility of setting up a test installation to demonstrate your alternative (assuming you get that far). > Or, alternatively, is it > just me and I'm merely being a trifle grumpy in my old(er) age? there's always that... ;) A
