Will Microworkz get burned by new iToaster PC? By Stephanie Miles Staff Writer, CNET News.com June 18, 1999, 4:25 p.m. PT Microworkz will announce a $199 PC on Monday, hoping that some of the people who flooded the company with requests for its earlier low-cost systems will be intrigued by its version of an Internet device that runs on a variant of the Linux operating system. Microworkz gained attention in April when it announced the $299 Webzter PC, one of a number of companies floating "free" and ultra-low price PC initiatives at the time. But the demand proved too great for the start-up, and the company was forced to delay and cancel some orders until a new manufacturing site came online. Monday, Microworkz will announce a $199 PC called the iToaster, a move that will certainly drive more interest in the company. But will it get burned by the iToaster? The company says no. The rest is at technews.netscape.com Interesting article. These things will not have a lot of DRAM and no RIMMS.
