Your post shows a great lack of respect for others. Have you appreciated the Ubuntu code of conduct? However, I applaud that you have tried to help her. I run four PCs for a local charity whose members are adults with learning difficulty. Abilities range widely. However the members use the PCs with no training, no supervision, and over a couple of years there have been no problems. I am IT support and there is only a very rare question to me. I have an elderly relative (now nearly 90 years) who uses Ubuntu for online shopping for groceries. In previous years I set up and ran a computer centre with one to one help for older people, for Windows. I ceased doing that because Ubuntu is very much more appropriate for novices or vulnerable people (and everybody else too) than Windows. -- alan cocks Ubuntu user -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
