| By adding PowerPoint to its application, Chicago thinks it might attract more
| students who have the kind of cleverness that can really pay off in business,
| and fewer of the technocrat types who sometimes give the program a bad name.

What is this obsession with "PowerPoint"?
Payola? Probably not, but it's almost as the MS-BBC fiasco.

Batavia parents to shell out for back-to-school
,----[ Quote ]
| The district recently sent a letter to high school parents notifying them
| that all the computers in the district this summer are being updated with
| Microsoft Office 2007.
|
| District officials could not be reached for comment.
|
| The letter stressed the disadvantages of not having the new software, which
| carries a suggested retail price of $499.99.
|
| “If students use an older version of Microsoft Office at home, it is usually
| possible to translate their projects back and forth between different
| versions of Microsoft Office,”the letter said. “However, this can be a
| tedious process, and information may not be always be translated properly.”
