The Grinch Steals Christmas at Robert Pogson

M$, our favourite corporation, is going to steal Christmas from thousands of small businesses who use its payroll service. Believe it or not, M$ has announced that they will not update the service any longer so end-of-year pay may have to be moved to another service. With “partners” like this, who needs enemies?

Want to jump on their cloud?

This looks like the end-days of monopoly. M$ can no longer afford to give much away as profits shrink on the client division.

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
