Someone had posted a link to the walmart/lindows page where I could
order the computer. Could they repost that link. When it was mentioned
that someone was going to but it for their wife I immediately thought of
my parents, they are 87 and 88 and about all they soon will be able to
do is surf the net. Sounds like an ample computer for the elderly.

For some uses, I think these boxes are fine. For instance, I'm
considering
getting a Lycoris box from Walmart, the <$250 box, for my wife. The only
thing she will use it for is email. I don't feel like building the
system
myself, and since the OS comes pre-installed, that saves even more time.
I
doubt that she will ever outgrow the system, as long email still works
on
it.
BTW, is anybody running Lycoris? Any comments?
