“Buypogo.com redefines Linux desktop PC’s by announcing the
AMD Athlon-powered Altura.”

“… BuyPogo.com’s new product… centers around AMD’s brand new
line of K7 Athlon processors for unmatched speed. For only $1199,
the Pogo Altura comes fully equipped with a standard Athlon 500 MHz
processor with a 200MHz system bus. As an added bonus, every
customer will have a choice of a free 5-port 10/100 Hub or a
software bundle… With the birth of the Altura, powerful computing
for Linux and Windows will never be the same.”

“BuyPogo.Com differentiates itself from other competitors such
as VA Linux and Penguin Computing by offering consumer-oriented
products that can be upgraded to dual-boot Linux with Microsoft
Windows. Customers will feel at ease knowing that they can use or
experiment with Linux while retaining the use of current Windows
applications and multimedia experiences.”
