Perhaps somebody could send the queen an old 486, a copy of linux and a
box of low fat chocolates and show her that buy spending 30 minutes
pointing and clicking and making a phone call she could actually do
something useful with the money she has like help people.

Its not like its dificult to install linux, i got a bunch of school kids
to install debian and apache last month, and my sister (12) has fully
installed mandrake 8.1 on her home pc with no help from myself other
than showing her how to get the computer to boot a cdrom, and telling
her what the network address for the gateway should be.
