Bringing Down the Price: Low-cost PC launched in India (Rs. 9,990, plus taxes).
>> 1 GHz processor, 128 MB RAM, 40 GB hard disk, 15-inch digital colour monitor, 52X optical drive, keyboard and scroll mouse
>> Linux OS
[ System's upgradeable. No complaints on the basic spec-sheet ]

While this is from HCL, there's another company (Xenitis) that has a similar low-cost offering @ Rs. 9,790.

Simputer started the Open Source trend, actually.

They did. But Simputer has never gained the traction it was expected to. A pioneering effort that has languished without proper mass support.

If a pixel were to see and interpret things as I do, and should it express, with a dose of my thoughts and afterthoughts; the flavor of such a talk should be close to one that you find on this page. And yes, cricket being my favorite sport, dont be surprised to find one too many related terms. Pad up is one such!
