   I've been running Micronet for 24 years now and it'd be hard to just get up   
   and walk away.

   I know I can force Linux to run a chromebook but it's pointless when I can   
   pick up decent spec'd off-lease laptop for well under $200 online and I can   
   just slap Linux on it.  I have a slipstreamed ISO of W11 that bypassess all   
   of those silly meaningless checks that can get it running on all sorts of   
   machines.    
      
   I used to use Tiger Direct but due to them being bought out and available   
   only to registered businesses, I quit using them.  Recently I discovered   
   Discount Computer Depot (https://discountcomputerdepot.com/) and they have   
   all sorts of great deals on a huge variety of system types.   
      
   Of course, there's always eBay.
