New Getting burned by Apple
Well someone told me that they bought an Apple Reseller from the former owner because the former owner was going through a divorce. Apple said that they would have to wait six months to get a new reseller's license and that it cannot be transfered. So in that six months they could not service their existing customers. Since it was an All-Apple shop that was 100% of their income. Guess why they turned into a PC-Shop?

But Apple is seen as the "only" alternative to an All-MS PC Solution for some reason. Some people forget that there are other alternatives, but they keep going back to Apple. Sort of a "Cocacola burned me, so I'll only carry Pepsi" but ignoring RC, and other brands. Then Pepsi burns them, but they remember that Cocacola burned them first, so they stick with Pepsi as it is the lesser of two evils. Apple is the lesser of two evils.

We need a better alternative.

New It should be a viable altenative
just that its ability to run the latest Microsoft Bloatware is a deciding factor. Got to get WINE up to snuff and run Office XP, or Office XYZ, or whatever. :)

New The next step
Is to bundle Linux and OpenOffice on new consumer electronic computer systems. Like the type they sell in the stores that also sell consumer electronics. Once Joe Sixpack uses it at home and in the office, you got a winner!
