[Tfug] Linux SIG of Tucson Computer Society

[Hubert M Bath]

Thank you for including me, after all these years, in your list of 
recipients for this post.  My failure to attend your meetings is due to 
inability, rather than lack of interest or enthusiasm.  I have used, and 
continue to use, Linux (primarily Ubuntu, and more recently variants which 
avoid Gnome 3, or worse), exclusively (as contrasted with Windows) for 
everything except tax preparation.  But late Sunday afternoon meetings, 
with its return drive to Green Valley, in the dusk or dark, became 
something for me increasingly to avoid.  For the past year, I have avoided 
freeway driving totally.

I have been a resident of the La Posada retirement community for about 
eight years, during which I have done what I have been able to do to 
further the interests of Linux.  There a few, perhaps 3 or 4 residents who 
have been persuaded to actually give Linux a try.  Most interestingly, the 
guy in our Administration responsible for all technical matters -- a most 
competent and knowledgeable person -- has been the most receptive.  I once 
installed Lubuntu on about 20 of the Asus eeePC-X101 cheepie computers 
that he set up to use as terminals for employees to enter personal data. 
And his wife loves the Ubuntu she uses at home -- has used it for years, 
and keeps coming back for updates.  So I guess that there has been a 
significant demonstration to someone who counts that Linux works in a home 
environment.

I am delighted that the SIG still exists and is active, and wish you all well.

Regards,  Hu Bath
