Topic: Keeping Corenominal grounded
I'm Becky, his fiancee and I hear you ask "How do you do it?"
My answer is by supporting him wholeheartedly in his ventures with spreading the Open Source message and at the same time reminding him that not everyone (me!) knows what he's talking about sometimes!
Philip has only recently converted me to Open Source applications and distro's - I was a dedicated Windows user when we first met. I'd never even heard of Open Source. Happily I'm now tinkering around with some applications at home, whilst limiting my Windows use to when I'm at work. All my questions (most of them really stupid, probably) about the various packages/applications etc certainly test his patience when explaining them to me in words of one syllable. This is how I keep his feet on the ground 
I'm immensely proud of what Philip has achieved with his CrunchBang distro and like to think that I'm the "good woman" that supports his creative genius 
), she seems to be pretty comfortable with her Ubuntu system. I'd like to say that she feels more empowered as a computer user, but I'd have to say that the opposite is probably more of the case, due to her lack of understanding of why a .odt file is not compatible with MS Word when she tries to open her documents at school -- it's hard to tell her that it's due to user error and that it's not the machine's fault (hmm, perhaps I should just play it smart and blame it on MS for not supporting ODF. Ha!). Alas, she is learning, and I am happy for that.
