Wayne's parents: How do I see the internet?Wayne: Click here .. see, you can do it all without Windows.Wayne's parents: What's Windows ... and how do I see the internet?
At least none of the software they buy in the store won't work for their computer.We bought my grandmother a linux machine for christmas and within a week I had to drive 100 miles to install Windows XP for her because the interface was too confusing.
