| Both of the clickthroughs on those RFD links gave me "oh hell no" adblock
| redirects to possible scam sites.

Yeah.  Their affiliate stuff gums some things up.  I don't know about scam 
sites though.

| The M75n-IoT is pretty bold to have dual RS-232 serial ports on the front of a
| 2020 machine. Decent price, too, for something industrial-rated.

There's another amazing Lenovo deal at the moment, off and on.

I really don't know how much of that URL is junk or virus DNA.

Until 3AM tomorrow, for $179 + tax, a ThinkCentre M90n IoT;

- Celeron 4205u.  This is NOT an Atom.  It is a Whiskey Lake processor 
  (8th gen Core i architecture).  AES in hardware!

- 4G RAM, soldered

- 128G PCIe SSD

- Windows a0 Home 64

So: a steal.

Lenovoe claims that the Web Price is $919, discounted to $179.00.  Both 
numbers are equally astonishing to me: one too high, the other too low.
