Hi everyone. Marc From Sub300/Sub500 here. Again I thank the supporters for the support. So far our first couple weeks in business have been quite good. To point out a couple things though: 1) The article was incorrect. We are not concentrating solely on Linspire. We already have several other free distros available, and will start bring in the pay distros soon enough (hopefully by the end of this week). We will also be expanding our hardware and system selection. 2) Although some of the carwash jokes are hilarious (especially about having to close windows), the fact that we are located next to a carwash is really a non-issue. We have been inth computer business for about 15 years, and have been doing online sales for about 2 years. It wasn't a whim to open the store inside the car wash. The two businesses run quite independantly of each other. As entrepreneurs I don't see it as a bad thing to have your finger in many pots. Lastly, 3) Our webhost. We don't host our own site. We pay a company to do so. We have been dealing with them for a long time, and they offer excellent service and truly unbeatable prices. Unfortunately they use IIS and not Linux, but we can't change that. Same as we can't tell the electric company or phone company what software they should use. If we were hosting our own site or selling internet service, I'd be concerned. We also acknowledge that the company in Australia was 1st, so we have removed all reference to that claim from our site. Again I thank you all for your support, and if you have questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me (through our websites)
