Hi everybody, I don't post that much from here in lonely Lynn but I just thought I'd let you know about a little Xmas success story that occurred this year. You might remember me mentioning my 83 year old mother who unknowingly uses Ubuntu for her computing needs (and incidentally now wouldn't be without her Android tablet). Well, cash being tight, I decided to take a chance with a present for my 3 year old nice by putting Qimo for kids on a 10 year old laptop and see what happened. Needless to say it was a great success. I received a text from her mum on boxing day, telling me she thought the present was "a stroke of genius" as Ellie hasn't stopped playing with her 'pooter' since and won't be parted from it. So a big thank you to the wonderful Linux community for the fantastic work that you all do for making one little girl's Xmas so special. Happy New Year to you all. Chris

Well done. Re-using a 10 year old laptop so effectively is really good news. Mind you, the response time of the Qimo website suggests that they may be using a 10 year old laptop as their server......
Belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone
Mick
