[QCLUG] Small success

[RK]

I think this is something that indicates Linux is
getting ready for Grandma to use. It is getting to be
close for many things. If we can just continue the
fight and have Linux be a "viable" option
pre-installed  on computers from mainstream
manufacturers.

When you can walk into Best Buy and the saleperson
says, "This computer will meet your needs, for ..."
without regards to operating system. The more people
who switch to OSX, the more people will consider just
getting the computer that will meet their needs and
operating system will be just a personal preference
rather than the only system they have ever used.

Enough babbling.
