[olug] Advocacy Idea

[Jason Ferguson]

I dont know if DIT would (I havent found them to be the friendliest 
store around), but I could get Computers 2 Go in Bellevue, and Adam 
could get Computer Rennaisance. I dunno about CompUSA, though... they 
SELL Linux, so they might not be thrilled to give it away.
