Hi Marcus,

It's a great idea, and I like it in an alter-mondialist kind of way, but 
you'll probably be infringing on contracts that the IT store has with 
providers, and might get in trouble; I did want to point out one thing 
you said:

It's not amazing at all. Part of *our* problem is unwillingness to let 
go of marginal markets (for us, at the moment). "potential linux-using 
customers" for an IT store is probably around 1% or less of their 
clientèle. If they worried about it, they'd spend more money on that 1% 
than they'd get in return, at the cost of potentially alienating 
themselves from the core of their market.

Cheers,
Dave.
