An article in today’s web edition of the Chicago Tribune reported Wal-Mart will begin selling computers for $199.00 at 600 selected stores and on line. According to the article, “To get to $199, First International Computer had to forgo software made by Microsoft Corp. or Apple Inc. and try the little-used open-source computer platform.” It is noted that open source software saves $60.00 to $90.00 on every computer. The First International Computer will offer “an array of familiar software: a Web browser, word processing, programs for presentations and spreadsheets, e-mail, instant messaging and media-playing software for music and movies. Much of that software will be provided by Google.”
This is great because I have asked santa for a new laptop for Christmas. My research found that new laptops from Everex (the U.S. company of First International Computer) will be sold in Jan. It will have openoffice vice microsoft office.
