Especially when you look at thier prices and hardware build.  We had several 1Ghz PL3000's at work, and they were CRAP.

True, they could get a replacement unit to you next day, no questions asked, but they were still crap.

IBM has a company mandate to replace Windoze with Linux!

Yeah, but they only sell pre-pacakged services that run on servers, where platform support is a vertical monopoly, anyway.  Hardly anybody in the server market other than huge corporations with license deals use Microsoft for anything.

I'll be impressed when Linux gets more than 1% share in the desktop market.  I'm a script programmer, and still only 0.5 percent of my visitors use anything other than Windows (96%) or Mac (3%).

PS - I did get about 150 hits from Amiga users, which is still half as many as Dreamcast users.  :-)
