True.  Or they are forced to buy new to 'keep up with the Joneses'.  Not 
a good place to be.  I remember 'slow down' programs when the higher 
speed 386s were released so that the program would not run stupidly fast.

However, I believe that being a 'sheeple' is not the way to go.  Sure 
Windows7 has some whiz-bang stuff in it, but I've been enjoying the same 
things with a Mac for years.

The only thing that Linux has to overcome is people's fear that they 
will loose essential functionality by switching from Windows to Linux.  
I don't see this unless they are (stupidly) Access addicts and that is 
being addressed as well.

So, on with Linux.
