Wal-Mart to Offer Wal-Mart Notebooks

Posted by michael on from the buy-them-by-the-pound dept.

ducomputergeek writes "Cnet News.com is running an article that Wal-Mart plans to launch its own line of notebook computers. I wonder if these will run Lindows or XP. We've purchased a couple low cost boxes with no OS's for cheap file servers and they've worked pretty well."

    A Wal-Mart notebook to go right next to my Arby's MP3 player. Although perhaps the logo can be sandblasted off so that users won't die of embarassment.

    I'm older than that. I remember going into Radio Shack when the TRS-80 was first introduced, writing a quick BASIC program:

    10 PRINT "Trash 80s suck!"
    20 GOTO 10

    running it and walking out. Ah, memories!
