[ale] EEE PC at Microcenter Clearance Table

[dhhoward at comcast.net (Daniel Howard)]

Speaking of the EEE Linux PC, I saw one at Microcenter yesterday for 
$100 off ($250 instead of $350) that had been returned and was on the 
Clearance Table in the back of the store.  I asked the sales guy what 
happened and he said they get about 1 out of 7 or 8 returned because 
folks buy them, get them home, open them up and suddenly find that it's 
not Windows with Word, Internet Explorer, etc. and return them.  I am 
elated that the vast majority of the Linux versions stay with their 
purchaser, but for those looking for a good deal, just keep checking 
MicroCenter in the Clearance table in the back.  I also found the OS to 
be very user friendly with it's tabbed application format and also 
zippy, including KStars for example, which I'd have thought would be a 
challenge.

Best,
Daniel
