[mdlug] Where is linux-friendly Computer Builders Warehouse?

[Rich Hughes]

Hi,

My name is Rich, I managed the Great Lakes Crossing store until they 
closed it. They closed my store, Farmington Hills and Novi. They left 
Roseville and Madison Heights open. I was at the Roseville location 
until they laid me off two weeks ago. Unfortunately, I had just finished 
the Ubuntu Laptops and was let go before I could properly promote them. 
As far as I know the laptops are still for sale. Chris, the manager of 
Roseville, is a great guy. Unfortunately he is manning the store by 
himself. The Michigan economy + overall banking situation  just became 
too much. I hope they make it.  I don't have anything bad to say about 
them as employers, and  I hope they make it.  I've always shopped them.

Again, too bad about the timing with the linux laptops. I hand 
configured them, loaded them up with everything. Wireless worked, 
Compiz-Fusion was enabled by default (but easy to disable), and I loaded 
them with codecs, etc... It would have been nice to see it through.

The two remaining locations are 12/John R and 13/Gratiot.

Now that I am jobless, hopefully I can get more involved with you guys. 
I've been trying to follow the emails, it has been a hectic two weeks.

Thanks,
Rich
