Could you rephrase that?  I can't quite understand "who actually does
need even a thousandth of it."  Are you saying even one of the smallest

Richard Stallman said: "I've never installed GNU/Linux."  Although I
can't program, I can somewhat read code, and I can ask questions about
it and find someone who can modify the code to do what I want.

If most people can acquire a Replicant device for just $25 or $80, maybe
