the future of Linux (was Re: mlb.com)

[Thomas D. Ward]

Hi, Scott. I tend to agree with you that everyone must start somewhere, 
and I also see Wal-Mart's buying cheap computers for it so they can keep 
the price down. The problem comes in that many heavy gamers bought these 
computers, and now gripe about feeling like they were ripped off.
One of the computer mags I have had a summary of one they tested, and they 
felt Wal-Mart could have done better if they would been willing to pay out 
a little more and charge a little more for the Lindow's systems.
At any rate it is making people aware that Windows isn't the only OS on 
the planet, and there are solutions coming out all the time that is making 
Windows old hat.
