[ILUG] new EEPC look alike

[Conor Wynne]

That's very cool. The fact that it wont ever run windows is the most
tempting bit.
i.e.: wifi will just work. I have to big up the Chinese for this one.

Bigger screen than the EEEPC is going to be a winner.
I really like tjhe EEEPC, dont get me wrong, and I really thought I would
miss a HDD, but I don't, at all.
I have not even bothered adding any spare cards either, and I have loads
lying around, boxed and all!

The fact of the matter is, all I ever put on it was junk, crap, and more
crap.
i.e.: ISO images, and my iTunes collection. And I NEVER used it as an ipod.

These machines are far better served left as is - i.e.: used to surf
t'internet.

I am tempted to buy one, but I just shelved out 800 odd quid for some
spanking new suspension, and I fancy a new set of leather bottoms, or new
boots...or exhaust...

Komputers or bike stuff.... lap times or linux.... hmmm
