She is presumably also resisting changing her spouse :-) - it may have some advantages...... more back on topic :-) Who does the maintenance on her windows machine? Time was when we used to rely on windows for everything and I had to reinstall at least a printer driver regularly - in emergency conditions usually - and I could not rely on things working as expected, nor could I rest assured that security was good as hoped for , even though I was diligent with appropriate applications. Ultimately I had to make a decision that whether we (both) wanted to or not, we had to move away from windows! A lot of learning for me, but certainly worth it in all sorts of ways. -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
