[CLUE-Tech] GPL loopholes

[Joe Linux]

That is my feeling too, but what can you do?  I tried to get him to 
switch to Earthlink or Techangle,  but he just wouldn't budge.  The case 
for Linux wasn't helped though by the little mom and pop computer stores 
that also speak negatively of Linux and don't offer ready to go Linux 
machines.  This probably belongs on the talk channel, but I feel the 
club (Clue) needs to work with these smaller shops to get them to 
understand the business potential for them to start offering ready to go 
Linux boxes.
