“The VAR Guy wasn’t looking for love, but he found it during a
trip to his local CostCo last night. There, he spotted the $299 Eee

checking out the Eee PC. (The three Es stand for Easy to Work, Easy
to Learn, Easy to Play.) None of the CostCo shoppers–not

Windows, Linux or something else. Fact is, most consumers don’t
know about Linux yet…”
