Bug Description

 I have a core intel E2180 2 core with 200-gig hard drive from Free Geek Vancouver, it now reads I has been partitioned a hard drive that I did not want.

I very reluctantly upgraded from 11.04 to 12.04 using a CD I made off your site. I started to try to run 11.04 side by side with 12.04 it would not work. Then places drop down menu stopped working to acsess documents. I reload my 11.04 CD to fix every thing went OK in the download there was two security updates just after it said no updates where availble. Places still did not work. Frustrated I followed Ubuntu message saying to change to 11.10 but I just loaded the LTS 12.04 as I have had enough of non LTS with expired Unbutu versions just whe I figure out how to use the damm thing.

I created a new document and spell check does not work either after I saved I could not access it as per places not working. WE DO WANT A SONG AND DANCE OF SOM OTHER ROUNTINE. This software seems to be one BIG BUG. This why OLD FARTS DONT USE OR AT LEAST UPGRADE COMPUTERS.................I used windows 98SE till I went to Free Geek Vancouver two yeas ago. WE DON”T LIKE CHANGE - GET IT

So I reluctsantly upgraded to 12.04 boot from a CD 12.04 (64 bit desk top version as with the others) Googled Classic Gnome for 12.10 dowm loaded as package manager Places still does not work. Documents shows up on the bottom tool bar the as some icon kina thing than fades away.
The antivirus crap never updated either from complait yeas ago.

LOOK GUYS and GALS, US OLD DUMMIES NEED THE CLASSIC GMONE TO WORK WELL - we don't like all the foo foo. If I had the Power classic would Have..... all three drop down menus instead of two Aplications, Places, Systems. NEXT thing you are just going to have one drop down menu.

If did have court documents to type out many of which have been lost some recovered with the help of the good people of Free Geek Vancouver I would not even turn the dam thing on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CLASSIC LOOK IS FOR US OLD STUPPID PEOPLE IF IT DOES NOT WORK WE DON"T WANT TO USE UBUNTU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE DON"T WANT FIDDLE AROUND WITH IT ALL DAY JUST TO MAKE IT WORSE

DO I HAVE TO LIVE ON potatoes rice and beans TO SAVE FOR ONE OF THOSE NEW MACS EVERYONE SAYS IS BUG FREE???????????????????????????????????????????
