	That's pretty much the conclusion I've come to. But as I noticed the
other day Linux powered Eee's are being sold at Target. Last year I
think it was Walmart that sold a Linux powered desktop. The Eee is a
huge step up up from that! You know how that works. Big corporation is
telling me it's good for me so I need it!
	Reminds me of the other day having a discussion about water heater
insulating blankets. The last comment was: if it's not a good idea then
why do they sell them? 

Best Regards,
