 * Advanced:  They can install their own operating systems, and will no matter what we put on there.  They are interested in seeing what we have.  They want to play games.  They want to install more software and hardware than what we put on there, and can figure out how to do it.

 Nancy is not afraid to learn, but fully cognizant of the fact that she learns slower than she used to.  She is not directly intimidated by technology, but is intimidated by other technology users, most of whom she assumes are experts with everything (not just computers).  Nancy is unlikely to install additional software without help; and similarly unlikely to apply security updates, assuming that she's not at risk.  She is appreciative of the Free Software movement in a vague sense, but not committed to its ideals, and is largely uninterested in the philosophical or technical distinctions between competing Free Software systems (GNOME vs KDE, for example).

 ==Adoption Program Personae==
 * John is forty-five years old, living in a very small apt. He was a construction worker until injured and is now living on disability payments. He has no experience with computers but believes that with one he can start a small Internet business. He can probably pay Coho's price. (He is likely to hang out in Recycling as much as possible.)

 * Patty is a feisty youngish woman who has recently been laid off from her day job. She is an artist/musician whose art can't support her yet. She embraces the free time to volunteer at Free Geek, to use her abundant energy and to get a computer for herself, to see what all the fuss is about and if it can be made to assist her art.
 * Laquisha and Laquanda are healthy, beautiful, extremely well groomed fraternal twin high school girls from Haitian "slave" and Native American mixed heritage living in inner southeast.  Their fifty-ish uncle accompanies them as joking chaparone while actively enjoying all social interaction.  Quickly mastering tasks and concepts, he dolefully ingratiates with lengthy apologies that he "knows nothing". The girls pay attention in class and are happy to take a break from adjusting their designer togs long enough to learn. They pick up spatial tasks and mouse negotiation very quickly while conferring with each other and actively compete or critisize each other's learning styles.  Their color choices and overall desktop design customizations will be dramatically balanced and creative.  They become sullen or angry when lost in learning process.  When intimidated or defensive the girls are prone to use their cell phones, text message, turn up their noses and stare into space, avoiding direct eye contact and failing to ASK for help.  This family is apt to have difficulty masking their disdain for lack of organization, cleanliness and especially human respect.  One of the girls will use the computer daily for basic tasks, eventually completing advanced functions and updates, and later attribute her "personal ownership" of technology to the Freekbox.  The other sister will use the computer for email and homework but struggle.  Uncle will also use his computer daily for email, and web browsing, online gambling and other (very) personal interests.  Clean cases, keyboards, mice and sound equipment are as important as respectful social posturing during the intial adoption introductions.
