My eldest said something funny this morning. She was saying about how they use Google Earth at school. She said that it's different to the one I use at home because they have to use the 'Blue' version. It turns out she was talking about Windows XP. She said about the blue bar at the top and the bottom, with the bottom one having a green start button. She said that my Google Earth is better (I'm running Ubuntu), so even at 7 (nearly 8) she's starting to notice the difference. I'm hoping that eventually I'll be able to convince the school to run things like Tuxpaint and Tuxmath at the school, even if it is on Windows XP.
