Oh I have too (my 80 year-old father amongst them).  I think the lynch pin is
prior use of FOSS software like Firefox/Thunderbird/LibreOffice which makes
the underlying platform irrelevant from the user's perspective.

But in your reply you haven't actually said what the prime motivator was that
made them want to switch to Linux?  For the aspirations of the LUG, it's
targeting these aspects rather than casting the net wide I believe will be
more productive.
