Webstation: Full-functioned PC for $167

The Lindos Corporation today introduced the world’s least
expensive internet capable computer, at an incredible $167 (as pictured,
no monitor).

Currently, the lowest priced store brand computers start at $399.  Microsoft
X-Boxes, which include a hard drive, sell for, coincidently, $167, can
be hacked to run Linux for about $30 in parts and know-how.

However, the Lindos Web Station has no hard drive and runs their propriatary
OS Lindos 4.0, a sort of Windows emulator running on Linux, off of a
CD.  The
machine ships with an MS-compatable office suite which can handle Word,
Excel, PPoint, etc. Also a web browser, music/video player, email and
IM.  Could
be a monster, or another bust…..
