[Eug-lug] eeePC

[Jason LaPier]

I can't decide if this is good or bad:
http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2007/10/200-everex-gree.html

Good: more Linux for the masses
Bad: err....people associating Linux and WalMart (and equating Linux
with low-end/discount)

Reason not to buy this machine (other than it being WalMart): "Even at
the low end, however, image is everything. The gPC is built using tiny
components, but put inside a full-size case because research indicates
that Wal-Mart shoppers are so unsophisticated they equate physical size
with capability."

Mini-ITX in a full-size case - what a waste...
