Great for those non-techie friends. The ones who keep pestering you as to what computer they should buy just so they can disregard your advice. The same ones who want you to set up and supply endless hardware and software service for their no-name clone on which they saved $100 compared to an IBM/Compaq/whatever else that comes with legitimate copies of the software, a web site with good support links and a warranty that means something.
