[NCLUG] RFC: draft of press release -- comments from another side

[John Baughman]

This sounds like a great idea. I have some contacts with professional 
trainers that could be "hired" on a contract basis later on in the program 
(or at the inception). One being someone I am trying to convert over to 
Linux/StarOffice. This could really benefit a large community of computer 
users in both the home and business.

Usually, when a person uses a particular OS at work, they tend to use the 
same at home. I know for the longest time, I was using DOS at work and spend 
a good portion of my time in DOS (even though I had Windoze installed) at 
home. Now, I use Windoze about 70% of the time at work and Linux the 
remainder, while at home, I am about the same. Each day that goes by, I am 
working on increasing the Linux and trying to reduce Windoze. If only I 
could get my wife and son to use Linux...
