[ale] Best Buy acquiring Speakeasy

[James P. Kinney III]

I am digging for alternatives to replace the dozen or so Speakeasy setup
I manage. I can't stomach the idea of putting money into Best Buy
coffers. I find that company to be as business slimy as Micro$oft.

And Tyan got bought out by a tremendous manufacturing company.

If SuperMicro gets bought I will just have to sit down and cry for a
month. Tyan makes the best motherboards and SuperMicro runs a very close
second. Any changes in what they do or how they operate will be very
unlikely to produce better quality products.

All we need now is merger between AOL and Earthlink and then a buyout by
Comcast.

THAT would be a horror show!
