p2pnet news view P2P:- Oh goody !!!

Soon I’ll be “emailing” and “chatting away to family and friends”.

That’s what the BBC’s Valerie Singleton (right) promises, having gone from one extreme to the other.

She was once one of the presenters of the Beeb’s Blue Peter program for kids. But these days she’s touting a computer for the “elderly” with Gargle’s GooTube as one of her promotion tools.

“SimplicITy computers ship with a Linux Mint-based operating system and an Eldy-based email client,” says Hexus.

Eldy-based? Not Elderly?

At boot, “the system utilises a ‘Square One’ home screen designed to provide one-click access to the computer’s six key features,” to wit: email, browse the web; about me; chat: video tutorial; and, documents,” according to the story.

It comes in two versions, one for 446 quid (that’s pounds, to you non-Brits) and the other at 536 knicker (see pounds).

“Both systems feature onboard graphics and sound, an integrated network connection, a 19in TFT monitor, stereo speakers and a wireless keyboard and mouse,” says Hexus, going on, “Helping differentiate the models, the simplicity Suite 100 features a 2.2GHz AMD Sempron LE-1250 processor, whilst the simplicity Suite 200 sports a dual-core 1.6GHz Intel Atom 330.

Not only but also, “Each SimplicITy computer ships with a series of video tutorials starring Ms Singleton,” says the post.

And Oh Yeh.

“The SimplicITy website also reveals that everyone who buys a SimplicITy computer system will receive one year’s free membership of discount-age.co.uk, a website setup by Ms Singleton to help find the best deals for 60-pluses.”

Yay!

As one of the eldery I will, of course, immediately dive into my tiny pension so I’ll be able to at long last join the computer literati.

heh
