Consider me convinced. I'll start bothering the politicos tomorrow. It's not 
just cost savings either. Less mouse use is a good thing in my view with RSI 
becoming more common in children. More terminals can only be a good thing.

As for children and Linux - my 3 and 5 year old children "love" tuxpaint and 
don't insist on me putting OSX back on their mac all the time. Just some of 
the time.
