You probably didn't like studying Turing (the computer language at UofT in early 1990's either)
It took me 10 years to realize that learning turing helped me learn lots of other languages (even perl!) instead of learning how to write macros in 123 or excel (It was 1991...)
I don't thing that learn SO will hurt the learning of other office applications.
It sure seemed like a strech of a decision when they decided to do it, but looking back, with an "OSS/(gnu-)linux" perspective, it seems kind of cutting edge. At least they didn't wait to see what Manitoba or PEI did before deciding.

Wait, Margaret Atwood is my grade 13 english (in Ontario in 1987) nightmare author - She's supposed to write real literature, not stuff that I would normally want to read. How can it be reviewed on/. ?
Is the reverse true? That Stephen King (who is discussed lots on slashdot) could have been one of the authors we had to read in english class? What dimension did I miss out on.
UHF would be great for wireless internet, especially in rural areas. The "wave" would be able to travel farther than it does using 2.4Ghz or 5.8Ghz technology.
In my area, no one will ever use the high UHF TV channels, so let's use them for wireless internet.
UHF also has better penetration through trees & stuff, so you'd get better connections.
