Herald,
        Nice to hear you are able to influence some schools to use Linux and help them in the process.  Hope the school you mentioned would get the PC's donated from the Bank as promised.

I was writing to Simons as I thought, I was addressing the group. I did not realize that I was addressing your yahoo mail id, instead of the group id.

Just now forwarded the mail to the group and hope Simons would look at it.

Cheers
Pradeep
