No WKOW, something else stopped her. But that's no excuse, computers should work for dumb people too, and everyone deserves to know what they're buying. It doesn't matter that we all know that FF is better than IE, for some people internet=IE, and office=M$. Dell need to explain the concept of compatible slowly, probably using shorter words. ___________________________ Yishay Mor, Researcher, London Knowledge Lab http://www.lkl.ac.uk/people/mor.html http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=yishaym%40gmail.com +44-20-78378888 x5737 2009/1/15 alan c <[email protected]> > Ken Robson wrote: > > US woman says Ubuntu can't access internet > > > > <cid:[email protected]<cid%[email protected]> > > > > also > 'Worlds Dumbest Woman Blames Ubuntu for College Failure' > > http://www.inquisitr.com/15383/worlds-dumbest-woman-blames-ubuntu-for-college-failure/ > (photo) > > '....
