Yes please!
Either in full or edited.

If you can also give the DU site a plug it will be useful too because 
until I recently came along they thought the world was only Windows.
:-)

I hope that an active interest into their site re Ubuntu will awaken 
them to how useful a reliable secure and stable OS is - for elderly 
and vulnerable novices. I would have had nightmares trying to do this 
with credit cards and Windows in the circumstances.

It is a long little old piece, I will be happy to work with you to 
shrink it  and if that is needed please give me some guidance?

At the moment she is happy that the internet is one very big shop.
