No, you're right.  If anything, the 'cost' was a very negative issue for
them.  They expect to pay a lot of money for anything worthwhile.  I'm
trying to educate them into the Gnu ethos, but with not a lot of
success.  Meanwhile of course, they're going to talk about it to their
friends.  I think my sister and her partner are typical of folk who need
Ubuntu, but who thought they needed a new computer.  I think our best
market is folk out there who really believe they need a new computer and
might be prepared to give something else a try.  Especially in a
recession maybe?
