I found a little more about the company. Its located in Hollywood, FL, and it looks like it only employs 4 people publically. <http://www.corporationwiki.com/Florida/Hollywood/augen-electronics-corp-6210999.aspx> The four also run another unheard of company "Amway Distributors Corp." (not to be confused with the _real_ Amway Corp.) Sounds kind of fishy to me. I did also find their website. <http://www.augenus.com/> When you go there, it redirects you to: <http://k5b4b.dj67y.servertrust.com/default.asp?Redirected=Y> Again, fishy if you ask me. -Adam On Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 01:28:05AM -0600, Mike Miller wrote: > On Wed, 18 Nov 2009, Yaron wrote: > > > On Wed, 18 Nov 2009, Brian Dolan-Goecke wrote: > > > >> Augen 7" 533Mhz 2GB RAM WiFi Netbook $119.00 > >> (got this from http://www.fatwallet.com/black-friday/menards/) > > > > Looks like a tiny, underpowered, really crappy computer with a barely > > usable keybard at bet.
