Summary:
Govt. is not renewing some MS office licenses on around 80 school Macs, 
saying "use NeoOffice" (mac OO.o equivalent) and save taxpayers $2.7M.  
That's the good news- the bad news is the principal featured is an 
idiot: "That's not the sort of software we should be expecting kids in 
New Zealand to be using.".   Grrrrr
