you'd only need a Knoppix CD to get you back online.

Well obviously not everyone has one, especially those limited to dial up, as already mentioned in this very thread. The smart thing to do is stick with what works well for 90% of us, and not go off on some obscure fairy tale being pushed on us by liberals. But if you do want to involve yourself with obscure liberals, at least stick to Apple, being a decent enough wholly-owned US product.

Not very hard to get one. If someone has the where-with-all to get and install Linux on their hard drive, they've most likely got what it takes to get a bootable Linux image.

It's more than that. It's a movement that can't be stopped. For better or for worse.

LOL! Yeah, if you want to be called a fag by many Windows users on this very forum. This might be the first time ever I've heard a Windows faithful recommend Macs.

But seriously,I understand where you're comin' from. Capitalism is great, I love it, it's the best system ever. But now that Pandora's box has been opened, do you really think it can be stopped? Linux installations get easier and easier every day. And the onslaught of malware for Windows gets worse and worse every day, adding up to make Linux an attractive alternative to people who are just fed up.

I don't think Linux can be stopped. And as they say, resistance if futile. It's not happening fast, but it's definitely happening. I think time would be better spent learning how we can be profitable with it rather than trying to stop the unstoppable.

That's my 2 cents, fwiw.
