Yes they are very good points, however her points are based on false assumptions. She assumes that in order to use Linux she needs to become an "expert", that it must become her new hobby. It doesn't. There is an initial investment in learning to get to the point she is at now with Windows, but it is not excessively time consuming, or hobby like. And as far as hiring a Linux butler, she can just fire her Windows butler for the money. If she is the Windows butler, she just needs to make that initial small investment in learning. Large profits will come from this small investment. I don't mind if people choose not to make that investment. Investing in anything can be scary and takes initiative. Many people are lazy. I take issue with her false assumptions. Her defense is either dishonest or ignorant. Either way it becomes invalid. --lonnie /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
