France caters to market for the most simple of computers
,----[ Quote ]
| For e39.90, or $53.30 - a e10 premium over the price of most broadband
| subscriptions in France - customers get a white computer roughly the size
| and shape of a toaster. A one-time payment of e29 buys a keyboard, mouse
| and camera; for e99 more, the customer can get a 14-inch color monitor.
|
| [...]
|
| For the operating system, the computer uses a version of Linux with
| a graphic overlay designed by Neuf.

| "The choice of open source was both for price and motivation,"
| Charrier said. "We pay no licensing fee for the software, and
| engineers feel motivated to work on a new kind of project that
| helps the open-source community."
