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.
