<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Just on that Vista image
problem, I have been slagging the competence of the technicians who put it
together. However today I spoke to someone with some intimate knowledge of the
whole system and apparently the techs were given next to no time to prepare
the image because of the timeline between the settling of the tender and the
supply of notebooks into schools was just unbelievably tight.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Perhaps some of these bureaucrats,
overseeing these programs, should do IT Applications and learn something
about Project Management, because they certainly want us to shove it down our
kids throats. Let's introduce them to Microsoft Project and actually have them
plan a feasible timeline to design and implement </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>new systems because I see precious little evidence of competent
project planning in much of what the department wheels out!</FONT></DIV>
