After 5 minutes on my nieces' PC with a new Ubuntu Unity installation I had to switch off the machine and remove myself from the room until I calmed down. The swearing was too much for the family to bear! ;-) That said, the nieces seem completely at home with Unity and they like it more than the classic Ubuntu Gnome GUI. Tut, tut! Kids! I guess they will also like the MSWindows 8 GUI next. </sigh> -- Regards, Mick
