It's tough enough to keep a regular shop open these days, Joel is right. Nevermind refurbs, brand new laptops are out there for $300. It doesn't matter if they're trash, they'll replace them in a year anyway. I have regular service work from businesses and professional users but I've been seeing less of everyday users and more declines of service from them after quotes. Even on high end machines. I wish you luck but if you get something like this rolling I'd wager you'd be seeing both a lot of returns and complaints when they can't install limewire. Purposed niche is definitely the way to go. If you could get reasonably priced turnkey DAWs and get the word out, I bet you'd have a market with people sick of paying their pt/cubase/logic taxes. Take care, soup
