Wal-Mart boots $199 gPC out of stores
Written by admin on March 11th, 2008 in Gadgets.
After selling out of the linux-driven machines, Wal-Mart is sending the gPC packing to the online store. From the looks of it Wal-Mart got a lot of returns and/or complaints from folks not savvy enough to deal with the uniqueness of a linux machine. The company will continue to sell them online, where according to a company spokesperson, they continue to sell well.
“This really wasn’t what our customers were looking for,” said Wal-Mart Stores Inc. spokeswoman Melissa O’Brien. The company will not be restocking the retail stores. The gPC was made by Everex.
For a computer novice looking for a bargain, I am sure the eccentricities of a Linux machine were just too much to bear.
