An Hour After You Boot It, You Want To Boot It Again
It's rare that I find myself jealous of those in less-developed countries, but
hearing what Dell is doing in China has me pleased and steamed simultaneously.
I'm happy because
Dell
built a $230 desktop for China that runs XP and has a 40GB drive and a quarter-gig
of RAM.
Then I got mad wondering why we can't all buy a brand-new, low-priced XP machine.
Before sinking into total depression, I did some fact-checking (yeah, I do this
occasionally) and found a $350 Dell Vista desktop with an 80GB drive and half-a-gig
of RAM. If I were in the People's Republic, I might just order my machine from
Austin!
