Another alternative for MP3's that I don't see mentioned often:
Ramsey Electronics has an FM transmitter which plugs in nicely to your computer. Then, any radio around the house can pick up your MP3s, including the main radio, and the headphone radio you have when you mow the lawn.
The only catch is that this transmitter is sold as a kit of parts, and you must solder the thing together. This makes it a "homebrew" radio which is legal to transmit onto the FM band. It works great around the house.
When I was helping to maintain a local elementary network, I would have killed for the ability to switch over the Linux, mainly for the ability for remote administration for all of the computers within the school.
However, web browsing is not the only thing that they're used for. Teachers have all sorts of little programs that only run on Windows. They have reading tests, special library searches with propritary search enginies, and some have special drawing programs that have been tailored to small kids. Unfortunatly, these programs are only under Windows. I didn't try Wine.
The licences are expensive, but they expect all of their programs.
Emerging quickly is not necessarily the key to success, but having some sort of gameplan to get out of debt is. Companies who have sucessfully gotten out of Chapt11 have either drastically changed their operating procedures so that they make a profit, or were places in Chapt11 because of some large, one-time charge (i.e. a lawsuit).
Simply using Chapt11 going to stall creditors while keeping the same practices that got you where you are are not going to help. If it does, let me know, and I'll apply it to my personal accounts.
