   That would be interesting.  We'd get to see whether the FSF would stick to
   their professed principles and boycott DOS machines.

Being ridiculous as usual, eh?  DOS machines do more than run DOS.
They also run Linux very well.  In fact, Linux runs a LOT faster on a
DOS machine than DOS does.  Something about using it like a 32-bit
machine instead of an 8-bit machine.
