Yes- that's a good idea- I shall email Feedback the Radio 4 programme now! I hope others do so too. Radio 4 has such a good audience. Caroline On 16/01/07, Llywelyn Owen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Instead of being negative, how about we individually write to BBC (Radio 4) and compliment them on

Instead of being negative, how about we individually write to BBC (Radio 4) and compliment them on their show! I'm sure it would massage some egos and at the same time we could give them some fresh ideas bout their next program...even offering to help out. -- Regards Llywelyn Owen -- ubuntu-uk@

Could someone contact an education prograame such as The Learning Curve about the benefits of OSS over MS? There is a school up in NYorks that has gone over to OSS and there was a Govt paper about it I believe. Caroline On 15/01/07, alan c <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: John McCourt wrote: > It'

Yes I have just finished listening to the programme- disappointing to hear that in the UK OSS is received with such suspicionbut at least there is a discussion- hope someone who knows more than I do will contact BBC with CD's and offer free demos...etc Caroline On 14/01/07, Llywelyn Owen <[EM

It's great that the Beeb are talking about OSS. I wish they'd talk more about Linux on "Click" and the news though. Some days they talk about Windows and Mac as if Linux doesnt exist. I think it's time to pile on the pressue. The BBC is a very left wing service, especially when compared to their Am
