[CS-FSLUG] Help Me Keep Outlook Out (of My Church's Office)

[Timothy R. Butler]

I tried moving one pastor's computer to GNU/Linux earlier this year -- 
he got jealous of those who had Windows XP and insisted switching back. 
*sigh* Since he fussed about it, GNU/Linux now has a bad name in the 
church office.

I'm hoping to establish a non-Windows beachhead by getting our music 
director a new system one of these days. She is an avid Mac user, and 
I'm quite sure if she was toting around a snazzy little PowerBook, 
others might start to think maybe there are alternatives to Windows. 
:-)
