Good read; thanks. However, you seem to be more of a half-empty than half-full type?
Only looking at your last paragraph, I'd see gold, if I was running a small-town computer shop, or in my university years again. Charge people $100-200 to fix up their computer by installing a GNU/Linux distribution. Or, if that's not interesting, exchange their old hardware, and re-sell that to somebody else. Maybe supplement the business with some courses.
(Just don't patent the business plan though; stories of people doing exactly that have been frequent over the last couple of years).
