Re: [K12OSN] Thin Clients

[Gideon Romm <ltsp symbio-technologies com>]

We like the VIA mobos, as well, and have several thin clients to choose
from off our online store at www.TheSymbiont.com.  Sorry for the
shameless self promotion.  That will be the last on the topic out of
me...

Oh, btw, we don't, as of yet have an "ozzy" reseller, although we would
love to bring one on board...

Viva l'VIA!  ;)
