Caroline Sorry for your troubles. Just looked up LUG for West Cornwall only to find that there is no active group in Devon, let alone Cornwall, let alone West Cornwall. If all these experts really want Ubuntu to take off, they must realise that ivory towers exist in all walks of life. Location is not so important as someone who is prepared to sit on the end of the phone for an hour or two talking for free in words of one syllable to a thick and desparate idiot on the other end. And happy to start with: "Have you plugged in to the mains ?" Then and separately: "Is it switched on ?" Perhaps some national roster so that someone's available all the time, with fall-backs if busy. Regards Robin

Was having a chat with a neighbour the other day....she said that she has a local chap who comes from a nearby town to see to her computer which is running windows- she pays him £30 per hour. She said she wouldn't want to change her system because how would she know how to get help for Linux? Well, blow me if I didn't have a major problem yesterday- and I didn't know where to start! In the end I drove 50 miles to Manchester to my son to clear up the problem- is there a list somewhere of Ubuntu experts ....ordinary folk just cannot solve problems with w techie down the phone.
