Amen!

There is a saying 'Let your life be your witness' and over the last
couple years when visiting my clients homes to fix 'yet another' Windows
problem I make sure to carry an extra Ubuntu live disc or two just so I
can give them a 'taste' of the potential of their computers, if they
would like. This has been very effective and now we are looking to form
a LUG in our small town. 

Even more amazing... many of the charter LUG members will be seniors,
who like the intuitive nature of a well setup Ubuntu machine and
especially that they can get maximum lifespan out of their computer as
they get older!

"Use The Force!"
