We need more Linux users

That's what I think is interesting. Forget the other 90% for now. For
every "you" there are 6 Windows 95 users. These are users that could
easily be converted. They're 4 upgrades behind (98, 98se, ME, XP) and
probably don't want to shell out $500 for a new computer.
They're most likely trained to do what they do on their computer and
feel comfortable with doing it. An upgrade is long over due (8 to 5
years old).
