I've probably heard them all - and more, my mother is by far the best<br>
example (in the technology arena) of the developer's mantra of "....the<br>
universe will make better idiots"<br>
It might help if she actually read her notes she makes on "Post-It"'s<br>

of what make my mother who she is.<br>

I'm curious as to exactly HOW you persuaded your mother to upgrade to
Linux. The reason I ask is that I have a <b><i>whole </i>SLEW</b> of
people using my router to browse (from Windows OSs, naturally) the web
and I'm finding it quite difficult to get them to do their browsing
from a non-administrative account. Any suggestions on how to sell
Linux would be greatly appreciated.<br>

Set them up as dual user, admin and user, and don't give them the admin
password.<br>
