   This is the persons 3rd time using a pc, he is more interested in   
   getting Games for this one than what OS is on it.   
      
   I talked to him today and he said he liked Windows more now than he did   
   when he was using Ubuntu.   
      
   I'll help him as I can, even though I'm not a G33K, far from it, and   
   he knows that.
