C=usa. A peaceful solution?

Come on guys, how can you be so hard on a company that includes a postion of employment with every computer it sells?  In this economy, that's really something that can set a company apart from its competitors.  That's real value added right there.

I don't really need another x86 box, but I am looking for a job.
If anyone from CUSA is reading this, I'd just like you to know that I'm fully versed in not only copying, but also pasting, and I have Paint.net installed on my PC and I'm pretty good at removing watermarks and other pesky bits from images.  I have some real Amiga hardware that I can look at and compare to present off-the-shelf cases, and I totally know what Workbench is.

Cloud computing changes nothing on the client side of things.  It doesn't enable any services that centralized servers can't already handle.  I'm not sure why marketing drones have latched onto it, but it's really annoying to hear it talked up as some revolutionary paradigm shift in computing when it's really nothing more than a distributed server configuration.
