[Wiltshire] Library presentation - Help Needed!

[Dianne Reuby]

The reason I've switched is simply that I can't afford to upgrade to
Vista when XP support runs out, and I also can't afford to buy a new PC
with it pre-installed. I've been told lately by several people how busy
garages are maintaining cars, as people are economising buy not
upgrading to new. I think this is the "market" that we need to target.
You can get a new, fully tested, up-to-the-minute, fully supported OS
absolutely free.

I can help on the morning if you need me, but I've only been using Linux
for just over two years so I'm a newbie. I did use entirely free
software on my XP PC before that for about 6 or 7 years. And as a
middle-aged housewife I do break the traditional image of Linux users
being young male geeks! :)
