To be honest, i never quite understood the big relevance of think pinguin.
It's great to have a shop we can recommend to non-technical people if want to
buy a system that is capable of running trisquel, but for me personally, it's
easy to find a system like that a lot cheaper somewhere around here.
With the gluglug laptops, things are a lot different; you can't get them
easily and the process of flashing your bios on your own is a difficult one.
In another thread about video games, i heard chris raising his voice against
the sole uttering of proprietary games and I found it hypocritical because he
is selling systems with proprietary software while preachering the opposite.
Besides, I never understood why people say "thank you" for work people are
doing _commercially_ on the free software front.
No doubt, it's a good thing that there are people doing it, but since they
don't do it for free, I don't understand why I should say thank you for not
doing unethical business.
They contribute to something important and they do it in an ethical way, but
the same holds for the guys who are building the streets in my neighbourhood.
I'm glad that they do it, but they do it for cash.
Especially when it comes to commercial selling of free software related
products, like in any other business, the merchant should be the one saying
thank you to the costumers.
That said, I think it's a natural reaction of chris to be against a
competitor who has a superior feature and snatches away costumers.
However, the way he is doing it is to obvious and not very smart.
If he decided to cooperate for the sake of free software though it may be not
the best way for earning cash, _that_ would be something i will say "thank
you" for.
