Re: [PLUG] True test of User Friendliness...

Hi all,
Some of my experiences..

1.  In previous company where i was working, i installed ubuntu on all the
 computers, there was a person who was just 12th pass. His work was to
upload
 html contents, some data entry & related stuff.. even he was not much
computer
 literate (actually this was best part) so for him every OS was काला
अक्षर भैस बराबर..

 within few days he got familiar with ubuntu, after few days he used
windows
 machine in his home and asked me questions like...

   - how to save to pdf in MS-Office
   - why he cannot play video files
   - how can his brother see the files from 'his'  my documents folder
   etc..

 I told him this is beauty of Open Source & Linux..

2. Few years back I was running a cyber cafe n i installed ubuntu & kubuntu
in cafe
many people used it.. some people use to ask "is it a new theme of XP" i
use to
say "yes.. it is" and no one complained.. (only problem was for some
people who
wanted to use 'yahoo messenger' or 'rediff bol' for chatting)



Regards,

[PLUG] True test of User Friendliness...

[म . हा . सा . ग . र]

A small kid who used to play games on Windows machine was given latest
Kubuntu for a month or two, and then for this installers whim, the
machine was reformatted and fitted with Mandriva 2010.

Kid on his own told his father, this newer (Mandriva) is easier to
understand (समजायला सोपे आहे) and work than previous Linux that काका
installed on our computer...

These innocent and unbiased kind of inputs that are usually not
available, so thought of sharing it here...
