| The VIA C3 processor is pretty lame even on a laptop. I know. I had one. 128-MB adds to the lameness being too lightweight for any modern OS. In this case you'll get what you pay for: terribly poor performance. Wal-Mart will probably sell quite a few to uninformed folks. |

| I would say reformat to Windows 98 SE if anything, but who knows if Win98 has the drivers to support that notebook. |

Now, I see why the fantastic prediction on the part of IDC. Yeah, this baby is the launch of those 17 million *nix desktops by 2008 that IDC is promising.
Meanwhile, causually plying my way through this month's PC World, I came upon this: For $699.00 Toshiba Satellite A60-S1591ST Intel Celeron D 330 MS WinXP Home Edition 256MB DDR SDRAM 30GB HDD 15" XGA LCD Screen DVD-ROM/CD-RW optical drive Integrated WiFi (802-11g); 56k modem; 10/100 Ethernet ATI® MOBILITY™ RADEON® 7000 IGP with 64MB shared video memory 3-Year SystemGuard® Protection Oh, yeah! That Wal Mart is going to sell a bunch of that open sore crap you just watch and see! The clincher has got to be 3 MONTHS FREE of Click'nCrap! Now, that's what sold me. lol |
