Nice. Thanks.

I liked the second link best. I can relate to that one.

The GeezerOS is, IMO, a good idea. Big icons, big text, a lot of Desktop launchers. Everything geared toward making it easy for them. Oh yeah, one more thing...make it look exactly like XP. I've been trying to get my Dad to try Linux for a long time.

Later...
