replaced his antique PII W98 box with a newer PIII running PCLinuxOS. I
showed him the Internet button, the Email button, and the Write button.
Then I left.
He hasn't looked back. I get the occasional tech call, but it's always
of the 'how do I' nature, which means he's still havin' at it. I'm over
there every few weeks, and get it all updated and make sure everything
is working properly. Save for having to reinstall the printer one time
(don't ask me, it just quit working) and an AT&T modem that crapped out,
it's been solid for two years now.
He's 83. I hope he's cruisin' pr0n.
