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

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

However, the Lindos Web Station has no hard drive and runs their propriatary
\n OS Lindos 4.0, a sort of Windows emulator running on Linux, off of a
\n CD.  The
\n machine ships with an MS-compatable office suite which can handle Word,
\n Excel, PPoint, etc. Also a web browser, music\/video player, email and
\n IM.  Could
\n be a monster, or another bust…..<\/a><\/a>.\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
