Well, yes, I did say that, but mostly to tell people that this is a way to get people to try Linux. The charities who want to use donated HP printers, such as nearly-new DeskJet D2460 printers, will have to upgrade from Windows 98 to something better to use those printers, and thats a great way to open an conversation about free Linux OSes.
I'm still a little annoyed with HP for deleting the drivers and commanding everyone not to give them away. Smacks of book burning.

Wait, what? I'm pretty sure it started with Leo mentioning a desire to give an HP printer away to one, but could not find drivers to use on their old P2 running Win98...

No, actually, the original post was Oren comparing the
discontinuance of

Rights Management. The
charity came in as a hypothetical somewhere... back
there... *points up at
the thread*
