Your chat transcript with a librarian at BOSTON PL (MassAns)

Chat Transcript:

who sells gnu/linux computers that work out of the box for senior
citizens?...

[Librarian 03:55:45]: Librarian 'Jonathan B (24/7 Librarian)' has
joined the session.
[Librarian 03:56:14]: Hello, my name is Jonathan, and I'm a reference
librarian with 24/7 Reference. Since no one from your library is
available at the moment, I will be assisting you now. I'm reading your
question to see how I can help you...
[Librarian 03:56:20]: OK, give me a few minutes to search...
[Librarian 03:56:24]: I have several other patrons at the same time -
I'll be helping you too, though my replies may be a bit slower, so
please remain connected and in this window, OK?
[don warner saklad 03:56:43]: ok!
[Librarian 03:58:33]: OK, are you able to see this page of web search
results in the window next to this one?
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Linux+computers+seniors&aq=f&oq=
[Librarian 03:58:47]: These are my initial search results - looking
through them...
[Librarian 03:59:33]: Apparently there is a good deal of interest in
this...
[Librarian 04:00:33]: The CNET article found here says: "Enter Mee
Swa, a Singapore-based company whose name means "longevity noodles" in
Chinese. It is launching its easyPC product, calling it the first
senior-friendly computer. Not only does the company assemble and sell
easy-to-use hardware, it has also prepared a specialized Linux
distribution based on Fedora Core 5. The company, with its programmers
from Indonesia and around the region, has crafted a user interface
that is ideal for those over 45 years old and who have yet to ever
touch a computer."
[Librarian 04:04:32]: And in web search engines you can use quotation
marks to search for phrases: Linux OR GNU "for seniors":
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Linux+OR+GNU+%22for+seniors%22
[Librarian 04:08:13]: Or: "Linux PC" "for seniors":
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22Linux+PC%22+%22for+seniors%22
[Librarian 04:12:08]: You will also receive an email transcript of
this session, including clickable website addresses and other sent
information...
[Librarian 04:12:13]: Can I help further in any way?
[don warner saklad 04:12:54]: This puts me on track! Thank you
Jonathan B
[don warner saklad 04:13:47]: The proper term is gnu/linux
[Librarian 04:13:48]: You're welcome and good luck!
[Librarian 04:14:16]: OK, though that only finds one site:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22GNU%2FLinux+PC%22+%22for+seniors%22
[Librarian 04:14:27]: I hope this is useful. Let us know if we can be
of further assistance. Jonathan B. QuestionPoint 24/7 Librarian
[Librarian 04:14:30]: Librarian ended chat session.

<snip bullshit>

As a troll you are pitifully transparent.

Here's your GG posting history as of today's date:

http://groups.google.com/groups/search?as_q=&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&num...0&scori

You must hold the record for total unanswered threads in all of usenet.

Now try harder with your next troll. MUCH MUCH HARDER!

In too few years, anyone that sells a computer to me will qualify.

leader propagating crypto messages embedded in his postings..
