I hope for "I can't believe they didn't let you do that!"

You're right.

I wonder: in twenty years' time, will people look back and say, "I can't
believe people used to pay for that kind of software"? Or will they say,
"I can't believe it was free"?

Let's hope it's the former.

[Dorset] Just Saying Is All.....

2010-08-31 Thread Simon O'Riordan
Hi,
I'm listening to Howard Jones on radio 'phones, while rendering a native
HD video, while uploading another 'HQ' video to Facebook.
And typing this email.
All with Ubuntu 10.04 which is zero cost, on a PC which cost £292 two
years ago.
The mind boggles.
Simono

Thanks Peter.  It worked today for an appointment tomorrow so I wonder
if it might be a bug that was fixed in the latest update.

Peter.

Peter, I use Evolution, but only as a mail client. I will test the alarm
feature and let you know how it goes.

The next meeting is only one week today; that's 8 pm on Tuesday 7th Sept
