| They developed a low-cost, open-source fabbing system—Fab at Home—and
| encouraged experimentation by starting an online wiki for hobbyists. People
| report printing with everything from food (Easy Cheese, chocolate), to epoxy,

| Now some people, like myself, prefer a real PC. Some of these same users may
| even be interested in seeing if Linux is a match for them. Because as far as
| I am concerned, there is no reason why someone should ever have to call for a
| software/malware related incident. And with a pre-installed Linux box,
| properly locked down, there doesn't have to be.
