From the "look what the RSS aggremangler dragged in" department... "I explained to the person on the other end that I wanted this particular laptop but that I did not wish to have *any* software, including an operating system, installed on the system. I didn’t want to pay the Windows tax and knew that whatever they put on the computer wouldn’t last five minutes after the laptop was removed from the box. To my surprise I wasn’t questioned or given a hard time about my choice. I was simply told that that was “no problem”. Once the agent had my hardware in his system and all my information he completed my order, emailed me all my necessary paperwork, and I ended up saving around $250." https://sparkslinux.wordpress.com/2011/10/22/review-of-the-lenovo-thinkpad-w520/ That's a lot of bread considering that the high end for the estimated MSFT license price for a laptop is $100--or am I doing my math wrong? Anyway, interesting sighting. -- -- Don Marti http://zgp.org/~dmarti/ dmarti <at> zgp.org _______________________________________________ Do not Cc: anyone else on mail sent to this list.
