There website would be a good place to start, but I have never looked into
it.  Do not really care to, either - I have no desire to have one.

For the obvious reasons I have stated: it counters the herd myth that all
PCs come with Windows or that Windows is forced on all people.

They have a phone number.  If you want one call it.  Again: I have no
interest in buying one and shall not do any research in that area.  You are
a big boy... if you want one I am sure you can find it.  Or are you thinking
you cannot do what Stallman did in terms of purchasing one?
