A baby-step in the right direction...

    Part of my job is to make all the various maps we use on our campus,
showing safety exits, locations for emergency equipment, main electric
and water shut-offs, or just to show new people how to get from point A
to point B.
    When I first approached the IT department several years ago, and asked
them for a decent graphics application to make these maps with, they
told me to use "Paint"! I told them I'd prefer to use Inkscape, and they
replied "We don't do 'Free-ware'...", and nothing I could say would
change their minds. Instead, I loaded Debian onto an old laptop and for
the past several years have been using it for all the graphics I need
for maps, powerpoints, etc., which I then convert to .png files for use
on the intranet, or .pdf files to print them out.
    Just this past week, I finally convinced our new IT director to install
the Windows version of Inkscape on my work computer since I've been
using it for the past several years anyway.
    A baby-step in the right direction for them, and I can finally take my
old laptop home!
