Re: [PLUG] Sources for a Microsoft tax free laptop

Thanks, all and especially Jim, for the suggestions.  I'll provide
feedback on what I do.

Even with a warranty, I am a little leery about buying a refurbished
machine, after seeing the way some of my colleagues treat their
laptops.

As for a Mac, while it is not as bad as sending money to M$ for
something I won't use, I would be sending money to Apple for something
I won't use.  I want the freedom of a FOSS stack, which OS X is not,
so I would end up running GNU/Linux (or maybe FreeBSD) on it.
