I totally agree. If McD didn't turn rain forest in to paddocks then someone else would - to provide enough meat.

Of course the Anti-GM mob hasn't spoken yet.

Can someone please provide the steps to reproduce this DRM problem?
I have played CDs, DVD, Blu-ray, Mp3 (from the afore-mentioned CDs),
recorded televison, recorded cam-corder movies, computer games,
I have done programming, manipulated spreadsheets, word documents and PDFs,
read my mail, used Skype, MSN, video conversions, created digital music, sent and received faxes.

So far I haven't experienced any effects of this DRM you speak of.

Please provide steps to reproduce.

Since most students are not aspiring IT techies, there is no need to give them the 'proper' education on computers.
The question is how do the education department decide, or should the let school make the decisions?
