Computer Help and Support

Years ago, I helped a local business convert from hand-written index cards to a PostgreSQL database. They wanted to use the system that came on their shiny new computer -- Windows - because 'everybody else' used it. That worked for about a month.

I was having to make 2 or 3 road trips a week to straighten the thing out even though I'd set it up so they could access the database via browser. Finally, I installed Debian on the computer. The only road trips I made after that were once a month to deliver printed reports (they just didn't want a printer in the office).

I'll never understand why people put up with MS software.
