   I am trying to convince the local council that they should provide help
with OSS as well as M$. They provide a range of courses aimed to teach users
how to use M$ mouse buttons, but little else. I do not care whether initial
help is in the form of formal courses or simply help towards a user group,
but if they can provide help for a commercial enterprise which ought to
provide its own tuition from the fees charged, then they should do at least
the same for FOSS.
