| schestowitz | Dell had been selling Linux machines for a higher price than the Windows equivalent before it became Microsoft Dell. I reckon we should give business to Dell's rivals now and always call it Microsoft Dell, which sells "Ballnux". Call it Nokia 2, unless Nokia's brand still has some value left in it (my wife loves Nokia). | Feb 08 09:49 |
| schestowitz | > I've been thinking about which ones to promote, I guess there are Acer | Feb 08 10:01 |
