Today's batch of plonkees were all from other newsgroups. I just felt like making the point that troll feeding is not advisable behavior. If *that* is your opinion/criticism, then *say* so! Publicly announcing a plonk is one of the most childish things one can do and doing so, you put yourself in the 'troll' - or worse - category. FYI, your opinion/advice is duly noted and will be honoured/ignored as *I* see fit. |

In addition to his "plonk" and "snipped, unread" posts, chrisv also contributes a number of articles containing the "fsck" used to replace the f-word and quotes of people "lying shamelessly." He's highly entertaining when he's not being a dick. |

A web search on "senior computer" picked it up: https://www.mywowcomputer.com/ The thing is very overpriced for the hardware you get, but it is exceptionally simple to use. You're basically paying for the user interface. Kind of what like Apple does with OS-X, another company that managed to tame Unix and make it palatable to the average person, but you need to buy overpriced hardware to run it. (Aside from hacked-up versions that may run on commodity hardware.) Would love to see that in action. I spent some time setting up newbies and seniors with Ubuntu (and later Mint) and it did not go as well as I had hoped. Did a quick search for it and found a review: https://youtu.be/NWz-QuAhaII I can see some things which might be issues -- such as not being able to install other program -- but overall I think this would be great for a lot of the people I have worked with. I wonder how hard it would be to write a simple window manager where all it does is have big ass icons on the desktop cut Is that not to way win10 works? |
