David, no one is in the target demographic of this service.  People do
not want their personal computers, their property, in their homes,
managed by someone else.  Your mother does not need this service.  She
does not need to pay money to someone to take over her computer,
install Linux on it, and run her "comfy Windows" in a VM.  What your
mother needs is *you* helping her.
