- | I am 79, retired, basically an electronics-oriented person. I had my first computer in 1985, a Commodore Plus/4, with an external floppy drive and a 9-needle dot-matrix printer - that were usable with C+/4 and the IBM type computers as well. It is obvious that a monochrome monitor was used, or it could be used with a normal TV set. Being a Hungarian, I had to use accented characters, and the first thing to do was to replace the built-in character set with a matching Hungarian font set - both for the printer and the monitor. Thanks to the Peter Norton books and the built in assembler program, as well as the corresponding literature of the Commodore Machine, I achieved the necessary knowledge to do the job. It was necessary as I worked after office-hours as a technical translator into and from English and Spanish languages, and the built-in word processing program was a great help for me. | + | **I am 79, retired, basically an electronics-oriented person.

The same happened, as I had to use the Hungarian accented font set, and it was my job to provide it both for the keyboard and the monitor.

Finally, I selected the one that was the best, the most user friendly, the easiest to use and install, and the fastest. It was Ubuntu. | + | **Later, I got my first IBM 286 machine (16 MHz processor, 2 MB RAM) and DOS 3.3.

The selection of the categories are well hidden, and it is very slow to locate them. To change from one workplace to another also takes a lot of time - until a window opens in the actual workplace to show the selection icons. In a desktop machine, with or without a touch-screen, | ||

- | I should like to express my congratulations and gratitude to the people involved in the development of Ubuntu, and wish that their concept is compatible with the majority of the users, both the skilled and the unskilled ones. To my greatest sorrow, it is a little late for me to learn programming so deeply that permits me to participate with the Ubuntu developers.
