I was pleasantly surprised, the other day, when I was in Target and
saw some eeePCs for sale, right on the endcap, for $299.99.*

  But everybody knows that it's only Microsoft's OEM sales
policies that prevent Linux PCs from selling!

Hi!

that would be me.

I don't stock many parts... just the ones that go into the computers I 
have for sale... which at this early point is pretty slim.  I've been 
having a hard time selling Linux PC's in this economy, and making about 
90% of my income fixing Windblows PCs for people. (I can't afford to 
stock things I can't sell...)

We're open by appointment on weekends... I'll be there this evening 
doing some work.  Not sure what time, but my sleep schedule is all 
messed up right now and I'm about to go to bed after a LONG day.

The other drawback:  We only take credit cards right now through PayPal.

But the upside:  We do have a few mobos in stock... all of one type... 
with RAM and chips available.  They're AMD Sempron based... but I don't 
have the specs or prices handy.

You can call the work number (in my sig) to see if I'm in the shop.  If 
so, stop on in.  If I'm there, we're open, no matter what the sign says.

Brian

One of the GNHLUG members runs a computer store:

I don't know if it meets your requirements but there's a
thread about it in the April archives on the GNHLUG server.

OK, thanks  I have already been there, sorry I forgot to mention that
They don't take AMEX. I was looking for someone that took AMEX.  Minor
detail, but important to me.

from 11a to 3p . . . according to their web site.

Looking for local mobo suppliers

My 7yo Athlon system is dying, so it's time to upgrade...

Are there any good motherboard/CPU/Memory suppliers local that might be open
tomorrow?

Thanks
