Yeah, I saw that. Sold out very quickly. ^_^

We ended up paying full price for the EeePC 901 Linux from Netplus.
Given our limited time and limited stock of this particular model, we
paid the extra.

We're very happy with the 901 - I still have the default Linux
install, but I've been hacking around under the bonnet. Replaced the
standard AzureBT with Bluez (couldn't get GPS working under AzureBT),
and have been having fun writing Perl/Gtk/Glade apps to fill the gaps
in tool support.
