Paul,
I have one.  Let me know what you want me to try.  I haven't had a  chance to wring it out yet
but it should do most of the things you want.  Lots of hacks on the  internet for it.  I'm a dealer and
everyone that has seen it loves it.  The two cons have been small  screen and the small keys (guys).
The video camera is low res but there are lots of add-ons via USB.   Of course, the MS weenies want to
load WinXP.

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.

Apple is comming out with the worlds thinnest notebook maybe you  should
holdout for one of these in the smaller size

They don't run Linux and they are over priced. Linux is not pre  installed.

Linux can  be run on a Mac.  Just google Linux for Mac.    Jerry
