Frankly, my wife is quite practical about this and is very happy since the switch to debian, if for no other reason than I've quit saying... "I've got to switch your machine to debian..." She is actually quite happy with it, but she learned to use computers at the same time as they (desktop) were developing... so she's used several versions of windows, dos, mac, maybe even pre-mac apple... for her it's just another version of the same thing and so long as she can do what she needs and wants she's happy. I guess she is one of those folks (like most of us here) who knows how to use *computers* not just windows... A
