Okay, based on what you said sometime ago, I would hope they used quality flash memory units. Given this, under moderate use, I'm expecting the flash to last 2 to 5 years.I have a laptop that is 5 years old. The battery has long died and the laptop will reset periodically. It really is time to replace it. I would like to get 5 years out of the next laptop I buy. However for $199, if I get 3 years of use I will be far ahead of the game! Did I miss the purchase information for the ASUS EEE?

I hope it's wildly successful as a GNU/Linux desktop product. I'd still rather have a OLPC laptop :). ciao, der.hans -- # https://www.LuftHans.com/ http://www.CiscoLearning.org/ # "You go to Afghanistan and you swallow enough dust that you'll pass an # adobe brick." -- Robin Williams, 03Aug2006
