I'll tell you what kills me about it! I came up with this idea about 10 years ago; a computer that just needed DOS and a browser, so it would run great with minimal hardware.


The reason you never heard of my system? No marketing budget.


Theoretically, though, it's a perfect system for a regular user. No real risk of virus or spyware infection, and no need for continuous upgrades make it sound great. But for a child, he's inevitably going to want to play games on it, so you're going to run in to that bottleneck before long.
