Don't you just love what we do? [sob sob sob]

TBIC is the Tampa Bay Inventors Council (http://www.tbic.us). I gave a
presentation there on GNU/Linux and open software a while back. From time
to time, members ask me for CDs and more info.

Hey Mario,

You might remember me, we met at a TBIC meeting a few weeks ago.
Well you handed me a flyer to the software freedom day at MOSI.
I went and picked up a copy of some of the stuff they were giving out.

So today I was planning on formatting my machine and putting a fresh
XP install on it, but could not help but wonder "what the heck was Ubuntu?"
So i timidly popped it in and let it run.

It worked imediately! No issues. No hassles. Full functionality with no
work.
I literally almost jumped out of my chair in joy.

So i just wanted to personally thank you for pointing me in the right
direction.
i have been looking to separate my self from MS for some time now,
and this amazing software fulfills that desire.

I do have on prob though that i am not sure how to go about resolving,
maybe u have an idea. I use this Olympus digital voice recorder and the
software
for it only installs under windows. where would i go to find a solution?

Thanks again for your help.

I am planning on attending the next TBIC meeting, so I hope to see u there.
Just curious, what type of invention are you working on?
(generally speaking of course)

Have a happy and productive week!

Regards,
