[Ma-linux] Latest on Dell and Linux

[Jay Hart]

Hang in there, go through with the purchase.

Then, I say send Michael Dell an email asking him why it is SO HARD to order a
simple little laptop from Dell.  Don't threaten to not do business with them
again, just let them know that next time you will look at other options before
considering Dell, and let your frineds/family know why you are looking at
other sources.
