Ubuntu is nice and shiny because the very nice man called Mark
Shuttleworth is behind it. He's a millionaire or something like that,
and likes to spend his money on being a space tourist, running and
selling Thawte (the people that make sure online shopping is safe),
and Ubuntu. There's a good article about him at

I'm typing with capital letters!" (think: 'running with scissors.') -
- as I say, FORCED (by my sweetheart) to peruse the windows machine
and the CD *is* a re-writer, so I may hassle around with firmware
download for the Speed Touch - £'s *are* a consideration just
now.......But in a few weeks I should be able to buy me a
modem/router...
BTW, we do not have NIC cards for these computers, so the modems run
off the USB only, though I'm going to try to get some ethernet
cables as we have this surge protector/hub thang and it may be of
some use..........for internet connection !
I really *do* appreciate all your help - one of these thursdays you
might even glimpse me at the Counting House, where people count!
Thanks for being guys I could count on,

p.s. last question: Have any of you ever been suspicious about who
actually owns Canonical? The packaging is so well designed and
attractive, but where do they get the money to pay people to put out
a new version every six months, when they are giving it away ? If
anyone knows anything or has opinions about this situation, please
share them with me.
