Re: [PLUG] Fw: Revolution OS

There is a search tool that searches for the best prices on books.  That 
lead me to order from companies I didn't know existed.  As a starting 
point I usually go to Amazon or BN.  Amazon usually has better prices 
compared to BN.  Amazon also gives you the option to buy used books from 
other sellers (I'm sure Amazon takes a percentage).

Amazon needs to make profit.  They got a little desparate and weird with 
the patent thing, but they are also  doing some good things.  And they 
do run Linux.

Some of us "poor" people can't afford to boycott a company if it ends up 
costing us more money.  For example, if using Linux was more expensive 
than using Micro$oft OS'es, I don't think I would boycott Micro$oft. 
(Then again, Micro$oft is evil.)  Since I can get both Linux and 
Windows for free, I choose to use Linux, but I will use Windows at times.

Anyway, I hope Amazon doesn't get a patent.  If they do, another company 
can beat Amazon without the one-click option by offering better service 
at a lower price.

Hey, I paid Sears $50 to deliver a dryer to my father.  They brought a 
vent hose (another $10) that was too short and tore it in half while 
trying to stretch it to fit.  They also brought a $10 power cord which 
my father told them not to install because the old cord is in good 
condition.  They put it on anyway.  That's bad service for a total of $70.

I guess I'm rambling.  8-)
