Linux for the Masses: the Everex gPC TC2502
The New York Times reports that my dream has come true: a cheap desktop box targeted at average consumers (how else can one interpret availability at WalMart) that comes with Linux. Doesn't this void the need for those philanthropically developed 100$ machines for the developing world? What is the catch (besides the lack of a monitor)?
but i did assume it was "even available at WalMart", not "only available at WalMart" (which after some online research proves to be the case), which is, as you point out, such a depressing phenomenon that if i think about it for too long i am forced to cheer myself up by watching JibJab Brothers' "Bix Box Mart"
