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.<br>

(Those new Sonys sure are nice, though...)
