I like to think that if you can help people with things that you
understand but they don't then they might help you in the future in
kind... I understand absolutely zilch about cars, for instance, so if
I can assist somebody in getting through their trauma with computers
should something go wrong with my car I can get advice in that regard
- win win!
But I am not a "Linux evangelist" -- sometimes Linux is not the answer
to their issues, perhaps something like Openoffice might be, but often
it's a case of trying to battle with the enigma that is Windows to
give them the solution they want. And I think that is important,
because there is a certain gentleman in Glastonbury who I watched many
years ago completely alienating Windows users by telling them they
were "stupid" for sticking with Windows. If it's what they're
comfortable with then it is not our job to try to beat them senseless
with a metaphorical stick until they "change".
