You really should call them, let them know there are people
out there who want windowless PCs.

I still think the used PC folks could make a few extra bucks
by preinstalling Linux on some of their PCs. I know there
are a lot of curious people who would like to try Linux but
are intimidated by the idea of installing an OS -- any OS.

I bought a used PC a few years ago from Action Computers and asked
that they take Windows off and drop the price accordingly. I had to
talk to a couple different salespeople, but they did it. I think
they dropped the price $30 or so... It had 95 on it, IIRC.

Good luck with it,
