I think, Richard was involved in some school stuff. But I think, it all went
very quiet. Would surely be good to restart these efforts.

On another matter, does anyone have any contacts with LearnDirect? I was
very surprised to learn, that their online courses only work with Microsoft
Windows. The technical reason is, that they require a plugin, which is only
availabe for Win (Macromedia Authorware). I didn't investigate this very
much, but it wouldn't be good to have an organisation of that size promoting
only Windows for their e-learning efforts. Obviously their IT course are
only based on Win-Software, but they do also offer non-IT subjects. And I
would really like to see these being available to non-Win users. Anyone any
experience with them?

Bye,
Marc
