Totally Off Topic
 
I work in the IT department and one of the guys brought in the new EeePC from Asus. Now we're looking at a group purchase. So far, no one's willing to go down in price (we're looking at the 8GB one but some are open to the 4GB one) but are willing to deal on shipping & adding SD/SDHC (8GB or 16GB) to the expansion slot.

More info can be found on the Memory Express site @ Memory Express Computers - Computer Parts & Laptop Computers in Canada. I'm looking for 10 people to buy it... I think I have 6 or 7 right now. If I get more than 10 confirmed to buy, I'll see what else we can get. :p Let me know before Friday, Feb 8/08 if you're interested or confirmed.

Damn, too late, I just got a new laptop for myself and my g/f actually picked up an EEE PC last year...

That's too bad. How does she like it? So far, they can't move on price but willing to give us a deal on shipping & SD cards. I've got them giving me pricing on 8GB and 16GB of SDHC. Not bad so far.

She finds it useful, but it's a pain when she wants to install compilers and other programs since you need a whole whack of script to make it run properly. Luckily she got the replacement thing from Memory Express, the first one she got died in a week...they replaced it with a new one right away.

have 2 laptops already so I'm out too :(

I'm getting it from NXSource out of Richmond BC. A whole bunch of us is willing to wait for 8GB... looking at an ETA of 5 weeks or longer. For the 4GB, we can get it right away I think.

Make sure you get some sorta replacement warranty!!!

Sounds pretty cool, I heard Asus is teaming up with Microsoft and going to be equipiung these units with Windows pretty soon.

I am tempted, but I have some other commitments right now so I can't join.
