I couldn't find a lot of differences which mattered to me between the MSI
Wind, the HP Mini-Note, the Acer Aspire One and the Asus EeePC. I bought an
EeePC 1000H, and am very pleased with it. It came with XP, I stuck on eee-ubuntu
and haven't looked back. I paid $550 at PLE. Austin had them for $600 at the
time.

Hmm, not listed there any more. Poke through the archives in the past few
months - Ari had a few helpful places to look. I vaguely recall OfficeWorks had
reasonable prices back when I was looking.

Cheers,
Greg.
