Do you speak L4+iN?

I was out computer shopping today. Not because I need a new computer... No, the 700Mhz flood surviving box I got from Greywar is clicking along just fine. It runs Fedora Core 2 now, and a fine specimen of an OS that is, too. No, I don't need another computer. However, MicroCenter was having a sale, and if I had opened a new credit card and had the patience for rebates, I could have scored a new PowerSpec bottom of the line computer with a Sempron processor for a total of $100 (running linux).
After I got home I decided to see what the tech guys have to say about the Sempron processor, as this was the first time I'd heard of the beast. And this is what I found: Link Check out the 4th paragraph, it's a good chuckle. For those of you too lazy to look at the link, what it's basically saying is that the name Sempron is a fusion of Latin and L33+.

Yout right! I was too lazy to click the link. Glad you put the answer in your blog.

Now, why they did that, I don't know.

A computer for 100 dollars? Post pictures! This could be the answer for peoplw who can not afford 300 dollar hardware!
