Good Point! Sad but true. I did hear though that there is a place in Pretoria that sells laptops without an OS. I will post the link as soon as I can track it down.

This idea of activism is great but lets look at it from the retailers point

them know Ubuntu? Are we as a community willing to provide after sale
service and if so, what are the legal implications?
