Some people want a laptop that can make waffles, wash and iron clothes, vacuum the carpet, paint walls, repair blacktop and work as a vibrator.

My needs are simple. I want a small, rock-solid, terminal that is dedicated to HIGHLY secure and federally guaranteed transactions on a publicly funded military grade network for: Banking, Bill Payment, Tax payments, Voting.

I do not want it to take photos, listen to me, show advertisments, play games, stream media, maps, start coffee machines, do email and chat, play audio/video files, draw graphics or change themes.

And any "browser" that can do these additional functions should be banned from connecting to the high security network under penalty of death.

Very simple.
