  I think that we have a golden opprtunity to pick up cheap, almost-new
computers.  We can make it a two-pronged attack...

  1) Be "kinder and gentler" to the environment.  Don't throw away your
almost new computer just because it doesn't run Vista in its "full glory".
It's probably fully capable of running linux.  We'll take it off your
hands and use it for ourselves.

  2) What?  You're unhappy about that?  Tell you what, we'll get linux
running on your machine, and you can have the benefits.
