The Era of Cut Down PC's
from the let's-roll-out-the-junk dept
Myturn.com is rolling out "cheap" PC's (although, they don't want to call them that) with really low specifications through Wal-Mart and Montgomery Ward . I guess the 40% of the US that hasn't yet started using the internet may embrace simplicity but it seems a very difficult market to reach and there are some competitors in this area (like HomeAccess Microweb). Although, I can't deny that the marketing power of Wal-Mart will undoubtedly be an extremely powerful push for Myturn.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
