Finally a PC for your Grandma

by dr dij . Updated 15 years, 1 month ago

I’ve been railing for ages about how computer makers and sw apps sellers are 1) too expensive, 2) not foolproof for end users like a VCR or DVD player.

This computer comes with a version of Linux (could windoze ever be considered ‘foolproof’ with all the malware?) and apps installed, all upgrades done online, they ship you a replacement for 3 years if it breaks and stores your data backed up online, encrypted, with communications also encrypted.

And sells for a low price with the data service included. It doesn’t have the humongo case that is still a relic but most people seem to buy anyway on windoze PCs. and low power use. Small, easy to find a place for. Move over, Grandma, that’s MINE!!
