Francis Rowe sells modified Thinkpad X60 notebook computers.
These computers don't require proprietary software, and are [FSF-approved http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/endorsement/respects-your-freedom]. Mr. Rowe removes the X60s' proprietary BIOS, and installs a free BIOS (coreboot). The free BIOS feature is rare. He also replaces the X60s' wifi cards, with wifi cards that are compatible with free software.
These are used ThinkPad X60 computers.
