Business is Business and Credit Where Credit is Due. There is an article in CIO magazine on GNU/Linux use in business. It's called "The Myths of Open Source," and one by one it debunks them, by interviewing executives who have made the switch already and are happy with GNU/Linux for their business use. [GrokLaw]

Yahoo! News - LexisNexis Selling Database to Prisons "LexisNexis, based in this southwest Ohio city, has installed computer kiosks resistant to damage in four prisons and jails in Hawaii and five in California. The kiosk consists of a touch-screen computer monitor covered in shatterproof glass inside a steel box bolted to a wall. "

Always a new market.  The selling point to prisons: access to legal materials required by law, but no books.  Books are apparently fragile in a prison environment, so electronic access is more reliable.
