I'm actually the President of IfL -- so it sometimes helps in getting educational bodies to do things they normally wouldn't ;-) I'm not against Unity. I just think I need to get my little bunch of 'pioneers' used to something closer to what they're used to Windows-wise than go with the redesigned (and controversial) UI. I've discussed with my group the possibility of upgrading the memory sticks later in the course, as and when they're feeling confident. </blockquote></div> I didn't think you were against Unity, it's just you mentioned they you're avoiding it due to the controversy. I have attempted something just as ambitious myself but more sales based than learning.
