   How about a FHF, Free Hardware Foundation, the purpose of which is
   to provide Free (and 'cheap' to implement) Hardware designs.

How are you going to beat the cheap 386 clones out there?  Check out
the prices in Computer Shopper[1].  Stallman was *nearly* right when
he predicted that GNU would be available when the hardware became
commonly available.  Well, the hardware is common now, but the kernel
will end up being about a year late.  Oh well.

    [1] I don't want to quote any prices, because by the time you read this
    message, they'll be out of date.  :)
