Jim, I have an 82 yr. old client who is a great grandmother. She BARELY could use XP on her HP desktop. About 9 months ago, I replaced XP because it misbehaved so badly, as it most often does, with SUSE 9.3, and I have OO pre2.0 on it. She not only finds SUSE Linux MUCH more intuitive than 'Bloze (no real surprise there) but is using OO quite well where MS Office was very confusing for her. I'll be upgrading her to SUSE 10.0 and OO 2.0 "gold."
