Not everybody. I built my own systems.

Never used either one of them. I went from flipping front panel switches
to CP/M to MSDOS. Then Win98 for about a month before I got fed up with
that POS and loaded Linux. Never looked back and started using BSD and
real Unices, too.

When the other stores learn how to compete Walmart will have its problems
too.

Let's take inventory on this network:

2 Sun Ultra machines running Solaris
2 Compaq machines running OpenBSD
1 homebuilt machine with Iwill MB running Linux
1 homebuilt machine with Asus MB running Solaris
1 HP Vectra running OpenBSD

Seven machines and none made by Dell, but I do admin a couple of Dell
servers running OpenBSD at a local ISP.
