No. But I did some googling....
Spec is:
* 512MB RAM
* 80GB HDD
* 400MHz AMD Geode CPU
* 6 USB ports
* uses 10W power (external laptop-style PSU)
The choice of Geode processor is unfortunate, as this lacks many
features which then have to be emulated by the OS. Video playback is
sometimes jerky. Boot time is slow (90 seconds to the login screen,
another 20 seconds to the desktop). Put Windows 2000 on it and it's
even slower. It's also does not support ACPI and is apparently based
on a very old chipset design.
I couldn't find anyone who's used the beast for a while and was happy.
Nick.
