Next release

[Richard Seguin]

I love it!!!!!  How many people do you have in your group? We are at a
slight disadvantage out here in the eastern provinces as our population
is a lot less and spread out more...  I have thought of designing
systems based on compatibility... I have also thought of the black box
idea where you
push the power button and up comes a screen... No configuration and
really no flexibility (great for people who only want something for web
surfing and email and such)... It would be money in our pockets...  The
geographical area around here though makes it so that idea is a bit hard.

I guess it goes back to the post I made a few minutes ago...  WHY should
people use Ubuntu...  any semi-geek knows that Windows and Linux are
competitors... For my own efforts anyway I want to take that out of the
equation...
