I still don't need any thing more fancy than my Nokia 2760 mobile phone with Tesco 'pay as you go'. It is switched off more than on and I haven't topped it up for six months or so. Having said that I quite like the look of the Asus netbook that can split into tablet + keyboard but not at £500 or thereabouts. I don't use my EeePC enough as it is. -- John Lewis using Debian sid -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
