Absolutely. I have the 4Gb version of the EEE and I think it is a fantastic device. I carry it about where I would hesitate to lug my much heavier laptop. It fits my needs extremely well - I have been saying for years that something like the Psion Netbook is what I wanted. An EEE running Linux does what I want extremely well. Considering the number of people who I know who have them I am not alone. -- Andy Leighton => [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The Lord is my shepherd, but we still lost the sheep dog trials" - Robert Rankin, _They Came And Ate Us_ - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
