The first was a question he asked shortly after I'd installed Ubuntu on the family PC, which was "Why doesn't the school use Linux?". The second came about a week later I think, when he was heard to say "I'm going to use Linux because it is faster, more reliable and has lots of cool games". Some things just make you feel warm all over and consider that it is worth it and there really is hope :) -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | http://www.aptanet.com/ | 023 9238 0001 == Registered in England | Company No: 4905028 | Registered Office: Crawford House, Hambledon Road, Denmead, Waterlooville, Hants, PO7 6NU -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
