I am sorry to hear that your attempt to install Linux ended up being such 
a disaster.

I am horrified to hear that they had the audacity to charge you for 
zapping your XP install and losing so much of your data.

Please do not blame Linux for what has happened.

It's a pity you live so far away from Perth, if you ever come up to Perth 
let the list know and maybe somebody on this list will be able to help 
you get started with Linux.

There is a list member who lives in/near Ravensthorpe - if he reads about 
your situation he may be in a position to help - I hope.

Other than that, I can only say - "Hang in there and don't give up".

As for being a lady user of Linux - welcome to the list - Linux does not 
discriminate against anyone and neither does PLUG.

Regards Arie
