Thanks for your time and feedback. You are right.
Except for the last two articles, all other articles were written with
the intention to introduce a layman to digital devices.
I have just resumed blogging. I will surely improve my articles
according to your feedback.
I am enthusiastic about bringing more and more developers to the Linux

I wish your support in the future also.
