Just to pick a bothersome nit, but 'PC' (personal computer) refers only 
to the -hardware-, not the software running on it (PCs are traditionally 
based on AT or XT form factor x86 compatible systems).

"They are coming from PCs, not linux boxes" doesn't strictly make sense, 
as most personal linux boxes are PCs (as opposed to PowerPC or server 
systems).

 From context, I suspect you meant to say something like "they are 
coming from Windows, not Linux, PCs".

I apologize for the OT issue, but this is one of those little 
wrongnesses that really bugs me for some reason, so I'm on a general 
quest of education to stamp it out.
