So someone crammed an x86-based CPU in there?

Probably Rich, but what gets me is the "the machines will come preinstalled with firefox blahblahblah"... So it's not like he doesn't know they're not desktop OS'es...

I'm about 90 miles away. My nephew was there yesterday. (Don't think he'd be interested, though. )

I've also inquired about the machines. They told me they weren't sure of the processor make, but that he's gotten "Tiny Windows 7" on there and that WinCE "runs fine".

The seller claims it's an "x86 AMR" processor.

Those AMR processors must really be leading edge

What I really like is his feedback as a seller...quite interesting items he has sold:

Pink and Black Lace Corset w/ Lace Trim
Super Low Fat Red Vinyl Dress from Hot Topic
Pink and Black Lace Bustier 36 C Front Closure
The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life : Erving Goffman (Paperback, 1959)
The Secrets of Fashioning Ribbon Flowers

Not much in the way of hi-tech, but who knows, maybe he's branching out...or maybe someone got their account hijacked...

Last sales were in October last year, and last purchases were about the same time frame...

Then suddenly on Jan 30th this year, lots of purchases...mainly tatoo items, guns, ink, whatever, and then some hi-tech stuff...all at the same time frame...what'cha wanna bet that within a week we find this account closed?
