Just doing a write up on this story can any one confirm the below
story and how it started ? and if the details are correct

On Friday 26th July around 5:00pm the website http://www.foris.co.uk/
showed a rather good bargain on a Sony Vaio Notebook/Laptop C1VE
CrusoeTM5600 for only £64.82, a good buy as this laptop is normal
over £1000. This was reported to the AutomatedHome UK Discussion
group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ukha_d/ .
Soon after this was reported there it was also posted to the online
forum Tekheads http://www.tekforums.co.uk:81/posts.php?
threadId=16960&page=1.  As you might have guessed mass purchasing
