I'm rather lucky. I spoke to a group last week - "Illawarra Computer Enthusiasts" - all mostly seniors, a few between 35 and 60 - and the interest was HIGH; most of them are sick and tired of virus protection programs, spyware programs, spam and crap - so I had to do very little "introduction" to the subject. After it was announced that I don't run Windows as my primary OS at home, I got barraged with heaps of questions as to what we use "in place of" MS programs - was great. Next meeting that has an open slot in it, I'm going to do a full blown presentation on linux as the primary OS in the house...and try to cover every available aspect - from normal usage to games to pr0n to security...I'm sure I'll get some attention there...(g) -- Fri Jul 18 08:55:00 EST 2003 08:55:00 up 4 days, 58 min, 2 users, load average: 0.03, 0.16, 0.14 ----------------------------------------------------------------- | __ __ |kuhn media australia | | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ----------------------------------------------------------------- linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1+ & RH 9 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 ----------------------------------------------------------------- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * Never tell the Captain or Deputy Captain you have nothing to do -- Murphy's Bush Fire Brigade Laws n13
