Linux friendly computer retailers in Toronto

[Bryn]

As a reciever of Wordperfect documents that need to be published to the web 
(Lets leave my parents computer abilities out of this).  I have found that 
KWord has a  great filter for WP and also does a good job on M$Word.  

The program seems to be much more responsive the Open Office even on my Athlon 
900 with 512MB.
