Have you ever seen anyone who learned Linux and was unable to "work immediately in a normal office"? This simply does not happen. Anybody who has spent time using Linux, even if only the command line, learns most of the skills he or she will need for using Windows. He or she learns to use the keyboard the peripherals (no, that thing with a whole that pops out of the computer is NOT a cup holder!), concepts like "files", "directories", "programs", etc. If some specific MS-Word skills are missing this person will not be afraid to learn them in one day when her or she needs them. -- Nadav Har'El | Thursday, Jan 2 2003, 28 Tevet 5763 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |Having a smoking section in a restaurant http://nadav.harel.org.il |is like having a peeing section in a pool ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
