Jun. 25, 1999 (PCWorld via COMTEX) -- America Online is talking with Microworkz to produce a low-cost, AOL-branded computer, according to a news report. Rick Latman, president and chief executive officer of Microworkz, told MSNBC yesterday that AOL executives were in talks on a possible computer deal with Microworkz, according to a report on MSNBC's Web site. Although MSNBC also quoted other sources as saying that AOL may even be interested in acquiring the Lynnwood, Washington-based company, Latman denied that. The report said that AOL executives declined to comment on the speculation. Microworkz has just launched the iToaster, a bare-bones personal computer that looks like a stereo component and sells for $199. Rather than Windows, the iToaster features its own proprietary operating system, which combines elements of the BeOS and Linux operating systems.
