Repeat Customers
,----[ Quote ]
| I have been in this community long enough I am
| beginning to get repeat customers. The young
| lady with the Acer Aspire One now running
| Debian GNU/Linux dropped by. Her machine had
| been run by her pre-schooler and was missing a
| few keysâ GNU/Linux was doing well. She had
| actually installed some packages and asked me
| to get the wireless working. It turned out
| that the driver had some problems and everyone
| was having problems with the wireless switch
| on that model.

Idiotic Plan for IT in Education
,----[ Quote ]
| Providing wireless in each classroom and using
| open standards would get them a lot more IT
| for less. My thesis for many years has been
| that more IT is good for education and the
| lowest cost option does it best, GNU/Linux.

5 Things New Linux Converts Should Know
,----[ Quote ]
| If youâve recently converted to Linux from
| Windows, or if youâre just giving Linux a
| shot, there are a few things you need to know
| right off the bat about how Linux works and
| where the major differences are when compared
| to Windows. Some of the fundamental components
| are different between the two operating
| systems, and the way things are done can be
| drastically different; you need to learn these
| differences to be able to use Linux
| effectively, and to avoid trying to force
| Windows metaphors onto a Linux system that
| doesnât accept them.

Does Microsoft think "Rip-Off Britain" is an instruction?
,----[ Quote ]
| In the current economic climate what do you
| think is the best way to keep existing
| customers happy and encourage them to spend
| more with you?
|
| Introduce some special offers perhaps? Add
| extra value to your products and services? Be
| even more nice than you are normally?
|
| [...]

| Just think about that for a moment. That's
| 100,000,000 individual downloads of a free
| product, the alternative legacy application
| from Microsoft will soon cost you Â430. Oh
| yes, and those 100,000,000 downloads happened
| in a year and 16 days...
