History

Quote:

The potato (Solanum tuberosum) originated approximately 8,000 years ago in the Andes of South America. Early Spanish explorers brought it to Europe in the 16th century where it quickly spread across the globe.

Well, I have the pleasure to inform you that I got one of these, and Windows XP runs just fine on it. I especially like the "auto degrade" feature.

EDIT: Sorry, I want to correct my previous assessment. The whole thing turned out to be full of bugs.
