| ...consider all the schools over the place who are migrating to Linux?
| These kids aren't all geeks. They think tech stuff is normal. They probably

| cute looking. And who knows how much longer the geek/non-geek distinction
| will be made? Watch for the year of Linux on the desktop... the kids are
| out in force and taking over.

| the foreseeable future.
