I wish I had known about TLUG 5 years ago when I was trying to set up
Caldera OpenLinux. :-)

Perhaps you could just mod Monopoly and could call the result
"Linopoly" or something. :-)

But c'mon, Vista's bloated, but other than that, it's not such a bad
OS for the average clueless end user. Though I must say, Mac OS is
better. IMO, Linux, unfortunately, still has too many problems (with
3-D graphics, etc.) for clueless end users. That is why I avoid
recommending it to such users.
