I would like to know exactly what software she can't use anymore? You mean like Word, Excel, Outlook? She doesn't miss those. She likes Abiword, Gnumeric, and Evolution better! And Firefox for browsing. Email and browsing is the only things she really does. She has actually been happier with linux than she has ever been with Windows. And as for your penis, she might be able to perform fellatio on it if it wan't for your father's mouth already being in the way!:)
Your absolutely right. Microsoft could help keep Windows systems safe by at least SUGGESTING you to have an admin account and a user account. But they don't say that it is "unsafe" to use Admin at all times. In most *nix's they give a short description on why it is important to use a user account for everyday use, and root only for administrative usage. I am use OS X, FreeBSD, and Gentoo for the majority of my computer sessions, and I even have an XP machine. I don't hate Windows, (maybe M$) but the *nix's are just more dependable....mainly because of enforcing of "root."
My grandmother used to call me about once a month to come over and look at her computer. I switched her over to a Fedora Core 2 box and now she never calls for help! Thanks for listening!
I being a PearPc user since my Powerbook was stolen, have noticed that PearPC has steadily progressed in areas of speed and use. Apple, fearing that PearPc will soon be able to fully emulate the PPC architecture, decided they had to do something. Frightened, they killed off one of the developers. Who's next?
