Here is the gospel of earth, ringing with hope, like May mornings with bird-song, fresh and healthy as fields of young grain. But those who would be healed must absorb it not only into their bodies in daily food and warmth but into their minds, because its spiritual power is more intense. It is not reasonable to suppose that an essence so divine and mysterious as life can be confined to material things; therefore, if our bodies need to be in touch with it so do our minds. The joy of a spring day revives a man's spirit, reacting healthily on the bone and the blood, just as the wholesome juices of plants cleanse the body, reacting on the mind. Let us join in the abundant sacrament--for our bodies the crushed gold of harvest and ripe vine-clusters, for our souls the purple fruit of evening with its innumerable seed of stars .

Feedback welcome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA9EHaNc2VI This is similar to the Ubuntu 12.04 presentation that Alan rehearsed to the LUG meeting in Addlestone a while back. Turned out to be good PR for Unity and converted more into enthusiasts. I was getting smugly confident with the desktop but learned a bit more from the YouTube demo. I've passed the link to non-LUG friends using Ubuntu and to the timorous three I'm still trying to convert away from Windows. So thank you Alan for the smooth and cool presentation. Still curious about that teddy-bear video on your desktop though ...?
