Microsoft to train 2 million people FREE

[fouldragon at aol.com]

Okay... it took me thirty-two minutes today to walk a user through 
deleting their wedged Outlook Express inbox file so they could get mail 
again.  (The directions were basically no. 1 if they searched for the 
error code).

32 minutes x 2 million = 1 1/15 million hours of overtime... assume $30 
per hour for overtime technical staff -- they're pumping about 30 
million dollars into the IT sector. :)

None needed, look at the free classes already offered for
Linux on the list here.

Microsoft plans to boost the(ir) economy by offering free tech
training to 2 million people over the next 2 years via training centers 
and WBT.
They wish to train (indoctrinate) 2 million people to bring up the 
"technical
standings" in the US.
