I see some dismay expressed about Dell dropping linux desktop computers.
Let's take a poll:
How many people on this list have bought a Dell computer with linux for the
desktop in the last twelve months?
I doubt any.
Some years ago, outside of Boston, the train company wanted to end a
particular passenger train service during the later evening hours, say
between 7 and 10:00pm. So, as required, they had a public meeting over it.
Many people came to express their opposition to killing this service. Then,
the company reps asked how many people had taken the train to the meeting.
Answer: None.
The company pointed out that the meeting was held at a point very
convenient to the train line and that the meeting time had been set to allow
people to use the train to attend the meeting.
Result: The train service was killed.
