I also see this, but I think the upside might be (and maybe the intention too?) that someone coming in off the windows street will feel absolutely comfortable with this. Ask a person out there if they use a computer, and if they say 'yes' they mean 'windows'. They have no concept yet that the computer is different from windows. Ubuntu can be that concept. I would prefer a little more indication of activity on some occasions - I use a lot of old slow computers. -- alan c -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
