Hi Jonathan, I agree but I think the problem is wider than just us isn't

for Windows etc. Caroline

I understand exactly what you are saying. But no-one would expect anything
for nothing. If my neighbour is paying for a local Windows chap to do an
hour's work sorting her crashing computer out then surely there has to be
the equivalent Ubuntu person? Her chap goes from appointment to appointment
