Broadband Computer Co Alex review

,----[ Quote ]
| You know how it goes: you help a relative buy 
| a PC for their simplistic needs and then you 
| spend the rest of your life giving out free 
| technical support. If that's a familiar story, 
| Broadband Computer Co's Alex could well be of 
| interest.
| 
| [...]
| 
| Once into the main computer, Alex has been 
| designed to keep things as simple as possible. 
| As such, there's not the usual desktop layout; 
| so, there's no start menu or task bar, windows 
| can't be resized or moved and there's only the 
| choice of applications that come preinstalled. 
| While most operating systems have bright, 
| large icons, but Alex is back to basics using 
| buttons with clear text labels.
