For now I have gone over to the Dark Side and bought the Mrs. a 
Windows 10 Laptop as she is forever complaining about this Linux 
stuff.  The main real problem is LibreOffice misbehaving on the format 
of cells, but I gave in. Also our main home computer motherboard 
bundle was bought in 2008, and the hard disk is even older, so I 
thought it was time to upgrade the hardware.


It has been a while since I worked with Windows (XP, NT4) so getting 
around W10 is a pain, and it won't let me install firefox/Thunderbird 
or LibreOffice because it is in 'S' mode, so I am ticked off.


But Linux is too difficult; your wide says so :-)
