I set up 133Mhz PIII, 64Meg machine for my sister in law. Its basically a
Debian Woody system using Blackbox, Sylpheed for Mail and Galeon for
web browsing.
I set up a custom Blackbox menu for her and she's been using it for over
6 months now.

IDIOT, n.
A member of a large and powerful tribe whose influence in human
affairs has always been dominant and controlling. The Idiot's
activity is not confined to any special field of thought or action,
but "pervades and regulates the whole." He has the last word in
everything; his decision is unappealable. He sets the fashions and
opinion of taste, dictates the limitations of speech and
circumscribes conduct with a dead-line.
