so i'm not one to be a nay-sayer to someone's creativity, but what's the point in this whole thing? i understand that you think it'll be nice for older people and children, but what reall convenience does it offer them?
you say not having to deal with a hdd is a good thing so they can't accidentally delete things.. well, they can't exactly save things either. what real use do older people have for computers? pictures.. that's the first thing older customers ask at best buy.. same thing with kids.. they like pictures, and they also like to play with things like ms paint and save and print off pictures. my kids absolutely love going thru their older pics..
next reason would be a virus.. not many kids or old folks pick up viruses. most of those are obtained by teenager timmy going to a website and downloading himself a new game (or watching some porn) .. those could easily be avoided by a variety of means
next reason is cost? $450 is still kinda up there. you can easily buy a cheap system (including a monitor.. which your budget did not include) for that at a big box store.. the only thing you're really saving money on is a hdd.. and even then, you have to spend more cuz you need a better video card, etc..
like i said, not trying to be negative about it.. i'm just curious as to what makes this a better solution. cuz right now.. weighing the options.. it just seems kinds.. bleh
but i am still totally open to this.. just help me understand it
