If at first you don't succeed - just buy the company and tell them to make the one you want.
I admire someone with the dedication to understand something and not just get frustrated with it. I am glad the man found something to do and in turn promoted so much good. Such things are what I believe in within the software world as well as out of it.

When close to achieving you quit! If you don't try you failed. Real Winners are not afraid of losing.

Very nice story, its sad to watch someone become uninspired.
I read this a day or two ago- it really got to me. This is the real power Ubuntu can have in peoples' lives. I think, in our nice houses in front of our cheap yet powerful computers, we underestimate just how much power we have, and how much open source empowers us.
I can't really imagine having a computer without Linux, anymore. It would be like taking the Moon out of the sky. The spirit of community, and the warmth of this community, are not to be taken for granted I think.
That was well said my friend. I agree.
Yup; that's why I haven't abandoned Linux after all the problems I've had. Linux is where I'm by far most comfortable. GNOME/KDE almost feel like it was built identically for my needs
But yeah.. great to see an elderly person who isn't frightened of technology. I gave an Ubuntu disc to my aunt but she called me later saying "I don't want to put in the CD, it might give me a virus and I'm not techie enough to figure it out".
I hate how people have to treat computers as if it's a horribly hard task. It's an appliance.
The reason they act this way is because a certain OS seems to reinforce this image of frailty and imbalance when it comes to computers. So, they generalize these issues to computers rather than the software they use. It always take people a few minutes, or sometimes months, to get used to the fact that Linux is stable, secure, and fast, and that something crazy isn't really going to happen.
