Today at the grocery store a sweet older lady approached me and asked if I knew anything about computers. I said yes I do, and she produced a mouse saying that her son set up Linux mint for her and she was wondering if the mouse was compatible. It needed kernel version 2.6 or newer so I said that the mouse should work, guessing mint itself was probably newer than that kernel. Happy with my answer, we chatted a little, then she thanked me and left.

It was a nice experience, so I thought I should share!

    I’ve had people ask me about random things in the food aisles before now, simply because I’ve been the first ‘young’ person they’ve run into since they picked up the item.

    *I’m in my 40s, but on a weekday afternoon, it’s mostly elderly people in some supermarkets. I still know nothing about Pokemon though…
