Just a snippet to report a nice experience. Below is a quote from a *novice* who had been currently using only XP on a very old PC. With suggestions from me and others, he purchased a low end naked Novatech PC after himself discussing his need with Novatech (and finding they said this PC would be fine with Ubuntu....). I installed 12.04 for him and transferred email to it via Mozilla Thunderbird facilities.
Time ran out at the discovery that his existing Dell all in one printer was not recognised. I briefly discussed printers and left a firm offer to help in detail with a printer purchase when he was next available. I have now received an email from him containing this. ====================== John Lewis at High Wycombe and spoke to an assistant re Ubuntu and he told me that he had installed it on his machine at home and he was very satisfied. With this in mind I told him what I wanted and he came up with an HP Photosmart 5524 machine for £56-00 which I bought and I think that I have set it up correctly ====================== We are doing something right Guys! Thanks to ALL. ;-) -- alan cocks -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
