I was just reading the on line reviews of the Wal-Mart $199 PC. It comes with Linux and Open Office. While it does not come with a monitor, it seems to be a nice value machine. If you go to the web site and read all of the reviews, you will see that this might be a machine to recommend to customers who do just basic computing and web browsing. The only reason that I mention this, is that for may WISP operators who have a limited number of possible customers, recommending a simple and easy to use computer on their network might be of some use. I was particularly interested to see so many comments by older users on how easy the system was to work with. Many had purchased this machine for their older parents or clients and the response was very positive.
I don't want to start on OS war or anything like that, just thought this could be an interesting way to increase the customer base and simplify customer support issues and cost for entry level clients. Just another tool for the toolbox....... Thank You, Brian Webster -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
