Senior newbie (genuine article)

My wife's about a foot taller this morning because we got her 70+ year 
old mother up-and-running with PCLinuxOS yesterday.  She's already 
started blogging about it and insisted that I pass on links to her first 
to posts on this subject.  What the heck, it's right on topic.

Excellent story! I went to both links and welled-up from reading all this.
Kudos to you, your wife, and your mother-in-law.

Re: Senior newbie (genuine article)

In addition to the success with a family member, I'd just like to let
Don know how much I appreciate all his efforts to rebuild computers
and get them into needy hands.  To bad there are more folks around
taking the initiative to do something great like that.
