[ubuntu-my] I am the Championnnnn!

Sat Mar 22 02:55:51 GMT 2008

Last month I converted my wife to use Ubuntu. She was a die hard 
MSoffice user and for the longest time struggled with OpenOffice. Yes, 
you guessed right, she's not a Techie. But after a few viruses hit her 
PC, I managed to get her to try Ubuntu. She was impressed with the 
eye-candy of course (like all women! [roll eyes]).

Last week, I convinced my brother to give it a try and yesterday I got a 
SOS call from him about installing Flash on Firefox. Success! He's got 
Ubuntu on his notebook!

This week, I managed to get my colleague to replace his WinXP with 
Ubuntu on his laptop. AND I get 2 others interested in the Eee PC which 
runs Linux.

Am I the champion or what!
