  "Mike Trettel" spoke the immortal words:

| My son keeps asking me why none of the PC's at his school have OS/2 or
| Linux on them. I gave him the long winded answer about how Windows is the
| dominant OS, the school is going to use what comes on the PC, most easily
| available software is Windows only, the teachers wouldn't know how to use
| anything but Windows anyway, blah blah blah.  I then asked him why he
| asked the question in the first place.  His reply was that the PC's at
| school were always crashed for some reasion or another, and he thought
| that they needed to use a more reliable OS.

Makes you feel proud as a father, doesn't it? ;-)
