Free shipping: We would love a world-wide FOSS Memorial Day, a day for those of you/us who have fought the battles to preserve freedom. That capital “F” in FOSS is so important: FREE. From now until the end of the month, May 31st, midnight PST (so you have time to pick out a computer you want) you can get FREE SHIPPING.
Mint: Steven J Vaughn-Nichols, a reviewer whose opinion we respect (a lot) wrote here, “the latest version, Linux Mint 15, Olivia, is now not merely the best Linux desktop, it's the best desktop operating system of all.” ZaReason loves Mint too. As always we are on top of the R&D curve so feel free to order your new computer with Mint 15 and we'll ship it as soon as it's available.
UltraLap: The UltraLap is currently winning the popularity contest at ZaReason. More people get, use, and enjoy (fewest RMAs, most compliments) the UltraLap.
Bitcoins: Yes, ZaReason Accepts Bitcoins. We get so many emails asking if we accept them and yes, we do. We love bitcoins and just wrote a post about them:
http://zareason.blogspot.com/2013/05/yes-zareason-accepts-bitcoins.html
Please let us know if you're interested in learning more about them and we'll write more about what they are and why we accept them. We love your input. Thanks!
Tux: If you're thinking of buying something with bitcoins on the ZaReason site (or if you need a birthday present for a friend, or just an upgrade for yourself) please check out our Tux keyboard. I'm typing this newsletter on my own shiny new Tux keyboard and is sure feels good.
Have a great holiday weekend,

ZaReason has been busy:
* Opening shops! We have two shops now covering North America and Australasia. Next up: open shop in the EU.
* Enjoying the Tux keyboards, backlit, super sturdy high-quality. Best part = completely free of the waving flag, manufactured for Tux and Tux only. To help more people get them, 25% off the keyboards for the rest of April. Use Coupon Code LOVESTUX when you check out.
* Building a tablet: Our first rooted open-bootloader tablet was popular, but it was a limited run. On a manufacturing level, it is easy to do a poor build and exceptionally hard to do a great build. We are opting for the "great build" route and it takes time. No eta on the next tablet, but we are hammering it.
* Offering specials! We occasionally offer specials to help those with tight budgets (or just need an extra nudge) to get a built-for-Linux computer. We haven't offered one since last year! So, get $50 off any desktop with coupon code NN4PS-Desktop and $50 off any laptop NN4PS-Laptop through April. (NN4PS = No Need for Proprietary Software).
Wondering about Ubuntu 13.04?
We are ready to go and have it listed in Linux Version options when you order. If you order now and select 13.04, yours will be prepped, ready for the official release on April 25th. It helps avoid the backlog, plus you earn serious bragging rights having a shiny new custom-built computer running the latest release.
As always, if you forget to enter the coupon code when ordering or have a question about what to order, just ask.
