Very good idea. I've been told in the past that Fry's corp was very
opposed to working with Linux. This was from customers and employees of
Fry's alike. Things might've changed, though. Also, I bet we have other
stores in town that would work with us. RadioShack.com was pleased with
their sponsorship of the Linux Demo Days last year. I'm certain we could
get in there again. I could also get us in the local stores for PC Club.
With the NPO we could do well to organize with a corp office such as Fry's
CompUSA, etc. We could open the doors throughout .az.us and maybe even for
other locations through one statewide group.

Nope. None do.
