Hey all, Can anybody recommend a *really, really convincing* source of information I can give people/my college that will aid in deterring them from trying to force people to use MS-Office files (by sending them via email and posting them on official college sites)? The ones I've been using (http://goldmark.org/netrants/no-word/attach.html and http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html) just aren't cutting it, even when coupled with personal explanations (usually individuals will make a normal, guaranteed-universally-openable, non-evil file available, but the college is really horrid and I usually end up getting people to convert them for me or go to the library and struggle with the confusing interfaces there (the library computers are completely useless unless you just love using a mouse and struggling through menus...no Emacs or terminal or keyboard-control option in sight...grrr...)). And no, installing OpenOffice or Abiword is not a solution, and antiword isn't a *lasting* solution, just a one-time quick fix that does nothing to fix future problems.
Thanks in advance, Amy -- You'll never see all the places, or read all the books, but fortunately, they're not all recommended. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
