OK thanks. That should be fine then. When I explain why the connections 
are breaking I can start the mindset reprogramming at the same time ;)

I don't use either but from what I have seen the hotmail interface is a 
bit more colourful isn't it? Actually I  am hoping to get them all mail 
accounts locally so they can read this mail when they log in.

As for the MS "preference" it's not surprising given the fact that 
schools appear to be teaching them that MS is the only game in town, 
although it seems a few of them have not yet been convinced gaming on 
Xbox is one of these games.
