Still Converting Folks To Free Software

,----[ Quote ]
| The lady paid around $1000.00 for a computer with Microsoft Windows, Office 
| and other programs. I believe she bought when she still lived on the West 
| Coast. Recently, with spyware and viruses infecting her system, she sought 
| help from another tech guru. He discovered that her Windows license was 
| illegitimate, and could not verify her other licenses. He then took his 
| scheduled vacation, with her box still not working. They had no formal 
| agreement - he was simply helping her out as a favor. She would have to wait 
| a week for him to return before she could use her computer.       
| 
| Seeing an opportunity to help someone in need, I naturally offered to help. 
| So I installed a GNU/Linux system this weekend and handed it to her last 
| night. I gave her a tour of the KDE environment.

| Now I’m looking forward to the first email from my Granny. Yes, I’m
| incredibly proud of her.
|
| And I’m happy about all the effort that was taken to make KDE applications
| easy to use and easy to understand. Even for Grannies.
