Unfortunately it's a mining company and there isn't a lot that Open
Source can do for such "specialist" requirements.. except for in the
infrastructure area's.. and I'm pushing those buttons lots :-)

I also keep lots of copies of "The Open CD" on hand for those that
have the requirements..
BTW "The Open CD" is a great way to introduce many of those that have
never heard of Open Source before into the fold..
There could be more info on the CD about "How it works" or "Why people
do it" though.. they still give me that "You've just grown a second
head" look when I start telling them that not only is it free but it's
OPEN as well :-)
