“People confused and frustrated by computers can now
turn to a laptop called Alex built just for them. Based on Linux,
the laptop comes with simplified e-mail, web browsing, image
editing and office software.

“Those who sign up for Alex pay £39.95 a month for
telephone support, software updates and broadband access. Its
creators hope the laptop and its simple suite of software proves to
be a popular alternative to the Windows and Mac operating
systems.”
