Dear fellow Ubuntu users:

Might I suggest to you, that whenever you receive e-mail offers/sales promotions from the large computer manufacturers (like the one I just received from Gateway - for computers/laptops with M/S O/S), that you NOT just delete these e-mails out-of-hand but instead take this as an opportunity to promote the name and use of Ubuntu.

Please consider replying back to these offers with a question asking the manufacturer if they offer these same products pre-loaded with the Ubuntu operating system. And if it is true, you might even mention that you have chosen to no longer use M/S O/S hardware.

If enough users ask this question often enough, those vendors may eventually get the idea !!!

Thanks.
