[TriLUG] Stay Online

[Brian Daniels via TriLUG]

Bought all sorts of things from them back in the day, including boxed 
copies of Red Hat Linux.
I think https://www.stayonline.com is what they migrated to, selling 
specialty power cabling.

And yet less thanks have we than you.  Users scowl at us, and reporters
give us scornful names.  "Geek" I am to one fat man who lives a firewall
away from foes that would steal his identity or lay his little computer
in ruin, if it was not guarded ceaselessly.  Yet we would not have it
otherwise.
