I'm flattered you think so.  Sadly the only reason I'm now having much
of an inkling of non-geek users' issues is because I married one.  She
loves Linux.  For Supertux.  For anything else she goes back to Windows.

She's a real trooper for hanging on while I experiment on her, but she's
not that much of a trooper as to rely on Linux for her vital work
(lesson planning).

It may be better when I finally get fed up with the offerings and have a
few CPU cycles lying around.  I plan to learn Ruby and may have as my
first project a decent file backup system.
