How can they claim that user familiarity is the problem when their users
don't even have computers? Or else the computers are so old that any
significant upgrade would require retraining anyway.
Besides if they don't have money to make anything happen, how can they
afford to pay for Microsoft licenses?
Is there another way to get these guys to see the light? I will go there
in person to see if I can have a face to face with someone. I can do that
as early as Wednesday next week.

I just talked to Scott Cotten (718-802-3900 extension 3759) of Brooklyn
Borough Hall who said that they have no intention of going to Linux, or any
system other than Microsoft.
He mentioned user familiarity. Also, other city agencies are Microsoft
based if/when support is needed.
