A story of a foolish user

Post by AndrewAPrice »

I found a great story of a foolish user, claiming Ubuntu made her fail her classes. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/01/15 ... ccess_net/

If you have any similar links then post them! They're amusing to read.

Honestly, this kind of pisses me off. :( Wouldn't have bothered me much if she wasn't in college.
