Dear friends,

A few days ago in my most recent Michael's Minute, I told you about a $229 LindowsOS computer being sold by TigerDirect and how it had been the #1-selling computer for TigerDirect since it's introduction a couple of weeks ago.

TigerDirect today contacted us and let us know that they have completely sold out of thousands of these machines. They have, therefore, temporarily had to stop taking orders. However, because of the overwhelming reaction they received for this LindowsOS computer, TigerDirect will be coming out with a new, even fuller line of LindowsOS machines very soon.

If you would like to be notified as soon as TigerDirect has introduced their new line of LindowsOS machines, please signup for our low-cost computer mailing list at:

http://lindows.com/lowcost

Our apologies to any of you who went to order this computer and couldn't find it. I wanted to send out this letter so that everyone would know of the situation.

If you just can't wait, you can today order LindowsOS 3.0 from our web site at http://lindows.com/buy or purchase other low-cost computers from other retailers, such as WalMart.com by visiting: http://lindows.com/featured

Thanks for your ongoing interest in Lindows.com.

Michael Robertson
CEO, Lindows.com, Inc.

For the uninitiated, the above was an email addressed to the Lindows Announcements list ;-)

It's good to see Lindows making headway in the OEM market. Interestingly, sales must be brisk all round, as Lycoris recently announced that WalMart sales were vastly exceeding expectations as well.
