I wrote my MP after midnight last night (today) and I've already had my reply. This is it :
Dear Mr Byrom I am Chairman of the Board of Directors responsible for the Bolton Technical Innovation Centre Ltd on Minerva Rd. When we were setting the place up, we had a long discussion about 'open' and 'closed' IT systems, and decided that the best option for an innovation centre was Linux. We host a conference for those that believe in 'open' systems every year. So, I am well aware of your concerns. A lot of schools are switching over now. I will be seeing Zentec again in Bolton next Friday, who do a lot of work with schools in the IT area, so it is a subject that I have an interest in. Dr. Brian Iddon Member of Parliament for Bolton South East 020 7219 2096 So there's hope for us yet !!!
