  1. Re:Swear a lot on Why Do Companies Stick with Voice Menus? · · Score: 1

    Swearing at the machine has worked for me 2 out of 3 times so far. If it works, you'll here something like "I'm transfering you to a customer support agent". And the time it didn't work, at least the woman was laughing when she answered.

  2. My list of trivial barriers on Trivial Barriers to Personal Linux Use? · · Score: 1

    case-sensitivity.
    Unexpected behaviors (double-click titlebar is Shade not Maximize).
    No drive letters (which is great once you adapt).
    Every distro has different names for things (the Start button).
    Unmount before eject.

    As for the d/l software issue, buy her the full/pro distro, tell her to install any of the thousands of programs on the disk.
