Dell says "new laptop is a revolution in intuitive functionality"

Dell has recently released the information on their line of "BBO" laptops. BBO means "Bonzi Buddy Only" as the laptops are only capable of running the popular free internet application Bonzi Buddy. Dell says that this is going to change the way that we think about how a computer should work as instead of interacting with the computer's specific programs, the user gives Bonzi buddies iconic character the little purple ape vague instructions and it will either tell a joke or print off a url that the user can look up on another computer in order to get further information on how to use the bonzi buddy.

Head of development at Dell, David Sheeterman said that they decided to go in this direction as many consumers thought that computers were becoming to complicated to use. He says users want a more "streamlined experience" so we have narrowed the computers capabilties to a few key features that are all accessed via specific commands given to the bonzi buddy.

-change screensaver from bouncing microsoft logo to pipes.
-change font of bonzi buddies speech bubbles to jokerman.
-ask Bonzi buddy to tell a joke.
-change bonzi buddy to a naked chick.

Sheeterman says that by getting rid of "unnecessary programs like microsoft word, internet explorer, the whole start bar altogether actually, we are allowing people who are may have been overwhelmed by the technology a more laid back and user-friendly experience". "I want to grab the hands of the technologically downtrodden and say "yo, have you heard of bonzi buddy?"" says Sheeterman. Readers familiar with the original Bonzi Buddy that was shut down in 2005 need not worry. The new Bonzi Buddy has not changed from the Trojan virus they know and love other than the addition of 15 jokes including ones about the 9/11 terrorist attacks in order to make the program more "culturally relevant".


Dell will be releasing the BBO series in the fall of this year at a starting price of $2500 for BBOB (Bonzi Buddy Only Basic) which is Bonzi Buddy minus the naked chick option and a traditional style mouse ball (you know, the red thing that was stuffed in the keyboard that you used instead of a mouse) as opposed to the much more functional track pad.
