Personally i think the guy is absolute pratt and is ultimately doing more harm than good.

I'm not saying it's necessarily a good thing to walk around preaching like that but if he was able to get people who are ostensibly interested in computers and software to listen and become interested I'd count it as a job well done. If he started to blather on, RMS-style, about Linux and Freedom and software and such and nobody wanted to listen I would count it as bad. These people were interested.

The oddest thing is the he carried a dozen-plus LiveCDs with him when shopping.

You're in America, have you had any contact with the geek squad? are they really that bad?

Sounds just like our major high street retailers, tbh.
