“Two days after the installation came the first
question: “How do I install the Adobe Flash Player in the web
browser?” I told them to follow the on screen instructions and
promptly shooed them out of my domain (cave).

“They’ve used the laptop non-stop since I reimaged it with no
problems reported. They do all the usual stuff with it that they
did with Windows: Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, web browsing, iTunes,
Email and word processing.

“My printer comes on and prints homework and their occasional
“wows” and “cools” have let me know that the laptop is serving them
well so far. I’ve heard much less door kicking and muffled cursing
from them since the big switch to Ubuntu. Now the only door kicking
and muffled (and not so muffled) cursing only originates from
me.”
