[mdlug] $80 Laptop

[Jeff Hanson]

Decent Linux review there.
Max 64GB storage is a bit limited.  Good enough for a netbook with some
online storage.

I'm old enough to remember hitting Best Buy and CompUSA stores hunting for
3GB Maxtor drives on sale with rebates.  Upgraded several PCs with those.
Yet I recently picked up a 512GB thumb drive for $45:

This was just for aux storage on my OpenWRT router (
https://openwrt.org/toh/linksys/e8450 ).  Maybe I'll use it for netbooting
LiveCD/DVD ISOs or apt-caching or something.
