<PRE>
thanks everyone for your advice and suggestions. I picked up an eepc 1000HE this
morning from PLE. Came with XP, but I also picked up an external dvd reader/writer
so I can load up ubuntu. It's a bit annoying, but such is life I guess. The
computer itself is a beaut. Lovely, and light and handy. Thanks again everyone.
cheers
David. 8-)
