schestowitz" this is the best marketing campaign ever for the ones that have.  I have been bombarded with news stories about them, normally I'd never see their ads but somehow they've squeaked their way into my life through their doing so.  It's basically DDOSing our news feeds with their corporate names"Jul 03 01:09

schestowitz@VOBE hello, VOBE. For similar cases I handled up to this day, I helped people I meet to get Kubuntu https://www.kubuntu.org and install it onto the laptop. It is a non-Microsoft modern friendly system with Android phone integration. I often recommend Kubuntu to my students and non-techies. I wish you luck and success.Jul 03 01:12
