YA. And i make money - 10% of the retail. Irrespective of the actual price charged. Whats even better ALL machines on the premises will be billed. You devil you have taken control of my mind ;-E. I know of many such organisations. However there is a downside too. Every zombie makes life more difficult for FOSS.
