[ale] Place to buy desktop in Atlanta

[Jim Kinney]

Get the powerspec and reinstall. The Duluth store is happy for people
to test their gear with a live CD of Linux and let them know your
results. They mark the tag as runs with Linux. 
OK. So that was a few years ago when I did lots of purchasing from them
that they would actually mark the tags. But they've always been
receptive to a live CD test of Linux. Most of the sales staff knows
about Linux if they don't also use it.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
