AFAIK, he passes on the message to any volunteer in the shop who can help. And, he hasn't passed on any messages for the past six weeks, as he's been on leave -- I am the one who's checking the phone messages, and doing the call-backs. So far, we've had one issue, which we were able to resolve, and get them up and running with AT&T's high-speed DSL package. I still don't get it. Are you trying to say we should only sell Windows computers? We have sold Ubuntu computers in the past as $99 computers. I think that started when Karl Grable was still among the active volunteers. Should we dump Debian, too, for the kids? What am I not getting here? Doc was the one who told me we should sell some inexpensive Linux computers, this is just the first time in nearly two months we've been caught up enough to spend any time at it. All I asked was if anyone had any input regarding what we should or should not install on the machines. Do you think we should eliminate Linux? Or is Debian OK but not Ubuntu? Or is it OK in the classroom but don't sell it? It would help me to understand if you would explain your reasoning. Thanks, Theresa
