Since Dan is no longer subscribed to this list and I know him pretty well as a friend, I think I can answer this question on his behalf. He feels that it's way too complicated for him and that you'd have to be a computer programmer to figure it out. He sees himself more as a computer user than a computer tech. He's just like most people in this respect. They have other things on their minds, like work they want to do with the computer, but they are not interested in figuring out how the computer works. It's the same with car troubles; most people just take their car to an automotive mechanic when things aren't working right and pay them for their expertise in figuring these things out. It's actually more efficient than them spending the months of study to be an even marginally competent mechanic. Anyway, by posting my proposal I was hoping to help Dan determine the minimum amount of money he would have to pay out to get his problem solved. Plus I was hoping it would give somebody here on the list a job opportunity, possibly me if no one beats my bid. Like any hesitant customer, Dan just needs to be shown the benefits of spending some money. He's already sold on Debian, isn't that a victory we can build on? And remember, every satisfied customer will give us more referrals.
