[plug] Cool toy!

Arrghhh, bare bones means just that - a body but, no brain (like me i 
fear).

When i pulled out the mother (baby) board, underneath i discovered no 
flash card (bare bones); fetched one, plugged it in....hoy carramba! 
voila! mint! Next problem, to get into cyberspace.

The toy is as fast - or slow - as working from the USB stick but, for 
A$190 (including delivery), big deal.

cheers. orm
