Ok here goes..I don't trust them, none of the people in our small
business trust them, my business partner doesn't trust them, none
of my business associates trust them, my wife doesn't trust them,
my brother-in-laws don't trust them, my 80 year old mother doesn't
trust them, my 82 year old uncle doesn't trust them, most of the
people in this group don't trust them and my cat doesn't trust them.
...I have an 80 year old aunt who likes Microsoft and AOL, so I'll
give you ONE.

Just donated two computers loaded with Ubuntu to my mothers
church for their yealy used computer auction. (Super Socket 7, 500
MHz and 256 MB memory). Just installed Fedora 7 on my brother-in-laws
HP laptop. Donated two more low end 300MHz computers to Goodwill
loaded with Puppy (loads right up in less the 60 MB of ram).
Its not much but I do what I can to spread the word.
