A woman I know via a non-tech mailing list hangs out with a public-
service group in Portland -- an organization that refurbishes old boxes
for schools & kids from poor families, holds classes in computer repair
& use, etc. Thus it stresses Linux, but isn't bigoted; in fact my
acquaintance appears to teach classes there in WinDOSe.
Recently she informed the mailing list that Linux was all right but far
from ready for the run-of-the-keyboard user [here append excuses in
fashion say 2 years ago].
Observe the _inertia_ -- not only amongst Baloo's conjectural devotees
of Datamation but right inside choirs we tend to assume converted down
to the last hemidemisemiquaver.
