<div>I agree that was my point, the computer-phobes are the
easiest to move, it is those that have years and years
using excel and know every button, every items, basically
everything about that program who are the ones who
struggle. </div>

<div>Yes, put Linux into a library for library users to
logon and go on the internet etc, but a user that is using
the pc as a 'tool' may struggle a bit more.</div>

Yes, agreed Jo but the users you describe are not the users you find
on library computers. A user "that is using the pc as a 'tool'" is
far more likely to have her own computer at work or home and when
travelling if she needs something for work then she'll bring a
laptop with her, won't she?<br>
<br>
So much for the end user. As far as the admin side goes, I'll do
some digging and see if I can contact people from cities that have
already made the change and see what they have to say. The content
of the FOI response seems loaded with vague suppositions involving
virtually no concrete evidence.<br>
