Quoting from the link: "..., but you can't go to BestBuy and buy Linux with a specific distro on it that everyone uses that has widespread market share"

I thought you could buy linux PCs off the shelf in one of big American chains (walmart???). Was a low powered eco thingy iirc.

Also as far as I know you can buy linux on laptops from Dell as well.

To be fair if your ancestors had been struck with the Plagues of Egypt just because they refused to give up their slaves you might be a tad annoyed as well.

I was still buying them at £15-20 in the early 90s iirc. and according to your calc wost case £15 in 1990 is £26 in 2010.

All Games are only really worth $10 or so.. When I first started playing games on my Amiga they only cost £15-20 yet now PC games are hitting £40
