Hello Tom - 

TW>>> The thing in Charles is that you rally CANNOT get the
TW>>> "SAem Thing" free. Linspire is an intergerated system
TW>>> that really Wroks. 

CA>> You really don't know that for a fact, you told me you did
CA>> _not_ buy a Linspire machine. 

TW> Since the preassembled machines are made with Specificly
TW> Guranteed Compatable components and sold by some big name
TW> stores I believe that is FULL evidence it is an Integerated
TW> system that works. 

That it is sold is no guarantee that it is useable, only that
it turns on, boots, and turns off again. 

TW> I do have Personnal experince that you cannot just assemble
TW> a junk box of components and have it function under LINUX
TW> though. 

True. 

TW> BUT one can fairly well with Windows. 

With the majority of new hardware aimed at the Windows market
it _should_ be possible but there are some wrinkles now and
then. 

TW> THAT is the Target LINUX MUST put their Eye on if they are
TW> ever going to make it in the Home Market. 

I really never did feel that UNIX or any clone thereof was
going to be a great OS for newbies or the 'home market'. A
glorified XBox or PlaysStation would be better for the 'home
market' if they added some way to store all the pirated music,
video, and pr0n they would sell faster than ice cubes in Hell.
