RE: Computax 97 & TechInstaParty II
If I can give my 2 cents, I would suggest to demonstrate the richness of
the scientific / technical applications that are available for Linux for
almost no money or very cheap. The programs that I saw and appealed very
much to the high school students were for example:
* Chemistry, Biology & Related
* Electrical & Related Software
* Image Viewer, Conversions & Manipulations
* Computer Algebra Systems
They can be found at: http://SAL.KachinaTech.COM/
Thanks, Josef
Have a nice day :-)
