Really? Yes you heard it here first a company out of London has created and marking a computer made especially for the senior demographic.  The new computer even has a cute name:  SimplicITy designed to help people over the age of 60 who have never before used PCs or the Internet experience the simple pleasures of chatting, social networking, online gaming, online shopping. The computer opens up to an operating screen called “square one” simple version windows and is built on a Linux operating system. Users can replace the SimplicITy desktop with a standard Linux desktop if they feel confident enough to move on.

Hold the phones and put away your credit card, the people over at Geek.com claim that the SimplicITy computer isn’t worth the hassle.  In fact the SimplicITy computer are so widely available now that makes two recently announced SimplicITy  brand computers seem so egregiously cynical and mercenary. The SimplicITy  suite of computers are low-powered, low-performance desktops.

In short it seems you would be better off finding a deal at Best Buy and getting the whole package for your investment.

Happy Shopping.
