Preparing to convince to shift to non-propriety documents formats

[Boaz Rymland]

I fully agree. Having *whatever* percentage of distributed material
requiring *whatever* percentage of students to spend hundreds (or even
tens) of NIS on HW/SW in order to cooperate is *totally
unacceptable*especially in light of no-cost alternatives (SW only of
course. HW will
still be needed).
