The hard drive in my MacBook died, so I can't use Word. I'm dropping out of school. Apple is the reason I'm dropping out of school.
This story just doesn't make sense to me. I agree that Ubuntu can be daunting, maybe there's not enough of a "welcoming committee" for new users, but.. c'mon. Her school didn't have a computer lab? Worst case scenario, she could have BOUGHT another computer.

- twopoint718 18y agoIn the original story she did call Dell but apparently they convinced her that Ubuntu could do all the things she needed. Story: http://www.wkowtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=9667184&nav=menu1362_8_6 http://www.wkowtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=9667184&nav=men...
