Actually Jean, just before the PC Show I was on the point of getting the 9 inch model. I thought I would just drop by at the show to see if there would be any special offer for the 7 inch model. When I saw that they had actually dropped the price by $200 it struck me that they could do the same with the 9 inch model in 8 to 10 months' time. So I thought I would get better value for money if I bought the older model. Anyway, I'm very pleased with the one I got. _______________________________________________ Slugnet mailing list [email protected] http://wiki.lugs.org.sg/LugsMailingListFaq http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet
