That is very good advice. Every time I go into a computer store, I
make sure to mention that I use Linux very happily. When I buy
hardware I ask the salesman if it works with Linux. The more that the
computer stores see people using and enjoying Linux, the faster Linux
acceptance will occur.

But don't be a jerk about it, like the fools who booked all the Apple
Genius spots. Be a nice, friendly customer who just happens to use
Linux.
