The local recycler was selling mini Centrino(IIRC) PCs that had 256MB 
DRAM, a USB port and video, mouse and keyboard connections.  It may 
also have had a floppy interface somewhere.  Powered from a wall 
wart, these were intended to host some sort of public web browser.  
At the time, they were asking $5 the each.  One could easily stick a 
flash RAM dongle into the USB port.
