[PLUG] Windows conspiracy theory...

[Mike Neal]

Hi,

As a full time instructor at PCC in the Computer Information Systems 
department I too am frustrated by the Microsoft centric nature of computer 
classes. Unfortunately, in this new era of tight budgets, we have to cancel 
classes which do not come close to paying for themselves, typically when 
enrollment is below 20 students. For whatever reason, CIS classes in Linux, 
open source software and security are less popular than MS oriented classes 
on similar topics.

I guess it might be more accurate to say more students ask for MS so that's 
what we shove down their throat :-)

Trust me, when a scheduled Linux Networking class is cancelled due to lack 
of students and I have to teach an MS class instead, it is distressing to 
me, the students and the community

Anybody interested in a Computer Forensics class for network 
administrators? I'm developing it now for Fall term and need more students...

Thanks,
Mike
