I'm a student who was unfortunatley scheduled into a "computer apps class" which was basically a windows biased look at the office products and remedial computer skills. I thought i had it bad with that class untill i found out that there was a remedial version below the class i was taking. I don't know how to program but i'd like to take the computer programing class at my school. I just don't see why they couldn't have combined programing and office (though i wish it was spreadsheets and word processing (instead of the microsoft products)). Microsoft is monopolizing the industry by providing resources that schools teach specifically. Hardly anyone at my school knows what linux is, and because they haven't been taught it, they probably never will.
