Your Grandfathers PC
 

The Register has a blurb about simPC, an "idiot-proof" PC set to debut in May of this year. It seems like a step towards a thin-client world, though it is aimed primarily at the elderly. For about $400 for the box and a $13-per-month subscription, users get a box with a propietary OS and software preinstalled for online banking, spam filtering, virus detection and online storage.

thats a really good idea. hope it catches on. repair people will be able needed more because people wont need to know as much about their PCs. unless the get cheaper.. then you can pitch it and buy a new one. either way, itll add to the accomplishment of building your own PC.
