RE: [MLUG] a good time to dump Windows?

["Hargus, Diana" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Tried to get mom on Firefox, too.  A disaster, although I did get my dad
on Firefox and openoffice.  I don't know why she refuses to try.  If I
can get Lisa's grandparents on a *nix of sorts (Linspire), it should not
be too hard get others to do the same I would like to think.
