Cephalopod Intelligence Just Got Better

Or, one of those 1960s flowers similar to bathtub decals. Who cares, it runs Linux and is only $199.00 US. It'll have an Intel Celeron processor, a 945GC chipset, 512MB of memory and either a 60GB or 80GB hard drive. What it won't have: an optical drive or a PCI Express slot. Despite that, it's…
