I know what you mean.  I try very hard to get people on board, and seldom 
get anywhere.  I know a few PhD's who don't want bother learning Mma.   I 
have a very hard time converting people because I don't work at an 
organization with lots of researchers and PhD's.

I think the problem is that once people get used to using one system, it's 
very hard to switch them to another.
