Thiebalt... What anattitude: "Do we care about them"...
I to, like Joe Zeff, have assembled my dektops from bits
and pieces that I could afford and were the best at the price
I was willing to shell out. I think there must be thousands
of nerds like us out there.

This is a first step of building a tyrannical system....
After the first step, the screws get tightened even further...step by step.
Always try to find who stand to make bug bucks from initiatives like these.
It's all about control and through control, charge fees and get filthy rich.
