Personas

- Susan, 34, Recreational user. While Susan seldom uses her computer for work, it has become an essential part of her social life.

She chats with her friends, shares music, playlists and other media, creates videos and uploads them to her web space, and runs a blog with her own style. She can't imagine a life without her laptop. Still, she is a fun person and does not want to worry about technical details. She expects her machine to work.
