Yes, but that's rather normal. They did it with GoDaddy quite recently and
some Web hosts are telling me that Microsoft even pay for the hardware if
someone wishes to ditch Linux.

By the way, my "Ditch Apple for Ubuntu Linux" submission reached the front
page, whereas two submissions of the article in question (Didiot) were
probably suppressed by my comments. *smile* They will get buries.

Best wishes,

Roy
