I like the idea of people going down to Maplins or wherever pricing up all
of the bits, finding out that it is cheaper by a hundred quid to build their
own, buying it, taking it home, spending the weekend putting it toether
really carefully, starting the thing up and then realising that there is no
OS. They then look up the price of MS whatever (what's the next one's code
name: Windscale??? or have Acordis got that one for their next renaming :-))
and finding that they are going to end up spending more than if they had
bought it from PC World or Dixons. Why? because nobody has told them about
Linux.
