    That's a hoax site. Those pics come from elsewhere and have nothing to do with that computer. It had a lot of people going for a while though when it first came out a few months ago

    (the letter is a forgery too. The letterhead is wrong and that person doesn't work for that org)

    I kinda figured that was a hoax when I noticed the traffic counter at the bottom: "Certified by Alexa."
