Your over analizing and ignorance to literature.

Im sorry that you are taking someones personal life into his writing; that there is a wrong turn into deciding whether someone deserves an award. Two, lets look again at the woman in the story shall we, First lets look at Poke. She was killed by a boy 5 to 6 years older than her, when no one else is around. So even if she was a tomboy she probably does not stand a chance against a matured older boy or girl it really doesnt matter about sex. It's about size, experience, and maturity. Three, Valentine apparently you did not look into that character very much. She allows her self to look like she is being controled, to control and keep Peter from killing and using his power for the wrong reasons. With Ender she truly is the only one who can make him make a decision; if you read the book you will find out he makes all his decisions, that are the so called major ones where he knows all his options, based off of her advise. As for homophobic does not in the first 5 chapters of Enders Game a boy kiss another boy and there truly is no negative outcome or feelings. Your narrow minded and one sided views on this subject is sad and very ironic to read. You are condemning one negative side of a person with your own.

Koha Server Hardware Costs

About the installation, well once Koha 3.0 is ready there will be a Koha-KOS CD [ probably Brooke will write about it so watch this blog if you are interested] which will install Koha in 15 -45 minutes [ depending upon your machine specifications ] straight. This I hope will help cut your costs on Dr. Pepper or Jolt :).

As far Hardware is concerned that depends upon the quantity of articles and circulation. IMHO the prices are rather high, I would recommend buying some OEM made Linux Based machine [ CPU only ] it will work fine. BTW what you save do not spend that on Pizza party rather spend that money on UPS [ Unintruptable Power Supply ]and connect only CPU and modem / router nothing more.

There are NO training costs which are Open Source specific. If one is willing to read then they are free while in case of commercial software there is nothing free even if one is willing to read and learn.

With the exception of Hardware if one is willing to invest time then there is NO NEED for money, except for eating and living :).

Tariq.

I think the text needs to be a little larger though. Can I buy these in laminated form?
