What a great opertunity<sp?> for you. You can now sell them all new hardware and convert them over to OpenSource. As for the NIC issue, just sell them MB's with built in NIC's. Almost all MB's are made outside of the US, so your not going to have much of a problem finding ones that will work for what you need. And just remember. The French are always there when they need us.. On Sat, 19 Apr 2003, yossarian wrote:
Thank you. I'm so sick and tired of hearing the cry of "McCarthyism" from celebrities who have spoken out against the war and are now suffering from boycotts of their products. Get over it. You had the right to say what you want. And we have the right to not buy your stupid records, movies, whatever. It's *free* speech, *not* speech without consequences. Ask Senator Trent Lott if there is a price for speech. I didn't hear any of the anti-war celebrities complain about that.True words, indeed, say what you like but face the consequences. But it is getting a bit awkward - one of my customers decided not to use any american computer stuff any more, ever. This means Linux stuff on funny brands of (taiwanese and french) hardware. I am OK with that for desktop and server environment (Corel is canadian), and a lot cheaper, but for the WAN part it is getting really hard. Anyway, underneath it is probably US anyway. Another customer decided to get rid of american crypto software, since he is afraid of economic espionage by No such 'n such Agency, helping his us based competitors. The Brussels incident didn't really help here.These politically motivated discussions are raising the cost of computing, i guess. yossarian _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
