I'm not Ubuntu savvy enough to helpmuch but I am learning The 80 year old neighbour of mine that I help uses XP (and would never switch); he gave me enough of an earful when his Outlook crashed and Windows told us to re-install Windows - I said I wouldn't do that just to fix an Outlook problem and instead would he try Firefox and Thunderbird. He complained about ''buttons missing' until after he got used to them now he never mentions it. another neighbour asked for help using Vista as he was used to Xp but his new PC came with Vista. I had to decline as I don't know vista. I have a few family members I help (all Windows) but later, when I know how to do it, I hope to connect to them over the net and help support their linux boxes (after first converting them of course :-) Having had experience of working with charities I know what they can be like regarding the status quo - Ialways wonder if they are doing the right thing regarding their funding by using MS. I'm not yet retired but think it would be a great thing to do what you are doing when I do retire. Maybe the Government should be subsidising al the oldies who are changing the software of Britain's retirees! Eddie
