| 5 weeks have passed and the machine has not been rebooted other than for 
| system (kernel) updates.  Normally by this time I would have done at least a 
| couple clean up jobs and possibly one OS re-install because of those 2 and 
| they’re online shenanigans.

| She uses gmail just fine, she watches youtube just fine.  She figured out on 
| her own how to burn a cd and she’s synced her ipod with photo’s take with her 
| digital camera.  She has not had a problem with any of her online bill 
| paying.  She has edited her MS Word resume and submitted to another company 
| where  she recently landed a nicer job with OpenOffice Writer.    
| 
| Best of all.  I haven’t received one single solitary phone call on the 
| computer NOT working.  Not one.

| He was very happy with the way PCLinuxOS had expanded the possibilities of
| his IBM, like the viewing of DVD movies and the burning of CD-R/W.
| And mostly that he didn't find it difficult at all to get used to KDE
| interface. He was a bit apprehensive at first, but the end result was very
| much to his liking.
