Congrats on the new job...but it's a shame that they've got the MS
blinders on. Hopefully you can, through example, show them that there
is a better way.
My folks are in the medical profession, and several control programs for
their gear are MS Windows-only. On top of that, your new colleagues'll
probably say, "hey, this is a hospital, lives are at stake here, we
stick with what we have!" Yes, I know, the actual EEG's, etc. don't run
on Windows. But that'll be their excuse not to consider a change,
despite GNU/Linux's greater stability. Just be aware.

Thanks. I still try and follow the lists but likely won't be as active with posts. I
do see some places already where they could benefit from Linux and Open Source, but I'm
not holding my breath. There seems to be a few rules as well where stuff can only run
on certified hardware with certified operating systems and such.
We'll see :-)
