Computer system change

Here at the Telegraph we are switching the newsroom over to a new system, designed to make it easier to integrate the Web and print. Today is the big day for the switch. I’m sure it will go smoothly - (pause for riotous laughter) - but I suspect I won’t be posting much as a result.
For those in the industry, we’re moving from one generic three-letter acronym to another: From ATS (Advanced Technical Systems) to DTI (Digital Technologies International).
A note of interest to geekier folks: We’re using Adobe’s stuff for editing and page layout … to avoid buying extra Microsoft licenses, for opening Word files we are using OpenOffice! Hey, we’re practically Linux!! (well, maybe not …)
