"My latest toy is the Internet Computer from OEone .
This is a $799 (US) box preloaded with Linux that takes user
friendliness to a level you won't believe until you see it for
yourself. I found the Internet Computer easier to set up than an
iMac, and lots easier to use than a typical Windows PC. But this is
still a real, hacker-friendly Linux computer with a terminal window
only two mouse clicks away from its default desktop.
I mentioned iMac in the headline because the Internet Computer
has a very iMac-like look; not the new version that just came out,
but the original version that now sells for the same $799 as the
Internet Computer. But the Internet Computer has several features
the iMac lacks, like a TV tuner, a floppy drive, and an
ergonomically-shaped, scrolling two-button mouse.
The built-in speakers aren't great, but they never are in
low-cost computers. The built-in 17-inch CRT monitor is clear and
stable, nearly flicker-free. I like the keyboard better than the
standard iMac one, too, which has always felt flimsy to me."
