Hey Best Buy, don’t mess with us Wisconsinites!

Wisconsin accuses Best Buy of misleading customers:

The lawsuit accuses Best Buy of promising cash rebates on certain purchases, but instead awarding gift cards for in-store purchases. Consumers who purchased a computer advertised for $1,199, for instance, paid $1,399 and received a $50 manufacturer’s rebate and $150 in-store credit.

Now really, I don’t hate Best Buy… It’s an ok place to browse and touch tech-toys before ordering from Amazon… ;)

In Linux Under the Desktop I had said:

What is Linux under the desktop? It’s the practice of sticking a server under your desk to get the job done…

Over time, these machines become useful, or even critical, and you need to move them into the server room along side all of the Windows boxes…

We just moved two Linux boxes out from under the desk and into the server room… And will probably put one more in there. Progress… it just takes time…
