"Are you an owner of an old laptop or a slow computer? Maybe you just don't have the money to buy a new one at this point of time? Don't worry. Ira Hyman gave his presentation on a seven year old 500 MHz laptop using PCLinuxOS. He surfs on the Internet and does his daily work without any problems. Like many other people I took away a free PCLinuxOS CD. Having installed it after the meeting I've been using the distro for a month now. I have never had to restart my computer and all its applications run perfectly."
Not that I don't mind a little extra publicity from time to time, but in an age of $300 computers at Wal Mart, do you really think people are going to use Linux just to bump up an old computer?
Well, I would hate to tell you how many OLD computers I've refurbished and given away to people that can't afford anything. Most in the 400 to 500 MHz range. There ARE people out here that can't afford to buy the newest wiz-bang computers. Anything to wring a little more out of old box's would be a great idea. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
