[Colchester] Converting the massives

Tue Mar 18 20:19:27 GMT 2008

There a magic trick that I learnt to convert people to Linux well
Ubuntu.

I work with a lot of closed minded people as you know from my last
e-mails but I found a way to even convert these lost people and it
really works...

Everyone seem to love Ubuntu Studio...

Hard core Windows users have said "Wow" to me....

Thanks

Toby
