PCs for Old Folks: Do Seniors Need Stripped Down Tech?
,----[ Quote ]
| Aiming a computer OS at seniors,
| especially when put onto overpriced
| hardware, smacks at best of do-goodism and
| at worse of cashing in on the uninformed.
| What is wrong with a cheap old PC running
| Ubuntu? Stick the relevant icons on the
| desktop, make âem big and off you go.

| "Linux is flexible, and applications and even
| actual distributions are more easily UNinstalled,"
| 451 Group's Lyman pointed out. "So, if a user
| doesn't much care for one version, there are
| plenty of others to try."

Is too much choice getting in the way of Linux' acceptance?
,----[ Quote ]
| Think about it for a moment. Let the idea sink in. Now, would you be willing
| to give up your favorite distribution for this to happen? Or would you be
| willing to accept the idea that your favorite might have to become nothing
| more than a variant of the âofficial distributionâ? Because we all know that
| even this wouldnât stop the open source community from continuing to create
| the way they do. But even if forks of the âofficial distributionâ were
| developed, there would still be âthe oneâ that companies and new users could
| migrate to and know what they were getting, know that they could get
| world-wide, standardized support.
