   Great! Good news.
   Is the 8 meg version available from you yet? I just went to Best Buys
   and they did not have it in stock.

   Try logging on my web site http://www.rotaryeng.net
   and Scroll down to the videos.
   See which ones work as there is a variety of video formats on there.


   I notice it has a VGA connector on the back so try it with a larger
   monitor. I need that feature when I give forums at air shows as I
   connect
   it to a projector. Does Asus have a larger note book with Linux
   pre installed?  Money or size is not the issue here. Getting Linux
   to work
   with all video formats and other features has been my main problem.

   I also need a USB plug in box that uses cell phone type wireless so
   I can
   access the Internet from anywhere not limited to hotels or coffee shops.

   Small size is nice but I could tolerate something a bit bigger if
   the key board was full size.

   Windows is totally out of the question for me.

Unless someone knows better, the unit will have to include a Windows OS
to run moving map gps software- I don?t know of anyone who has a Linix
version available (ie, AnywhereMap or ApicMap).  It should accept
a mobile gps through the USB port.
