Hello Arelor, 07 Apr 22 03:09, you wrote to me: Ar> In my experience, the best way to gain converts is to show them some Ar> program that does something they need on Linux or BSD for which they Ar> don't know a Windows alternative. If the Windows alternative exists, Ar> hush as a whore :-) My mom uses Firefox and Thunderbird as her primary programs. When I explained to her I could easily move her FF/TB profiles over to Linux, she commented that "there's no reason for me to use Windows anymore". She also liked the fact that the older but still very reliable HP color laser printer she paid about $800 for would work just fine under Linux and not break all the time like under Windows (I double-checked HPLIP support before I said anything; I have to install the HPLIP binary blob but that's a non-issue). Ar> My father was sold into Linux because he asked me to help him manage Ar> his ebook collection, so I installed Callibre in an old Linux laptop. Ar> He started using Linux just because of that and nowadays that is the Ar> only thing he wants to use. Calibre is a great program. I've used it myself. -- Sean ... "I never think of the future.
