damn it I've answered just to alan on my previous e-mail... Don't forget to  
reply to all :D

Hi!

I agree, this is precisely what I was thinking when I submited my last  
script idea. Little stories of regular people and why they switched to  
Ubuntu, why they like it. In fact, if Ubuntu was more famous, we would not  
even need to show it, but, in my opion, we could show that person using the  
OS and smiling, happily (so cliché).

I love this tagline. "There is nothing wrong with your computer". It's  
perfect for this kind of situation. But I believe we're trying to draw the  
attention of a wider audience, not just people with old computers.

We could make several ads, each focusing on a different kind of user, each  
with an equally powerful tagline, on the same mold.

What do you think?

Tarek.
