Is the 8 meg version available from you yet?

      **** No, the one I have is the Eee PC 4G, Pearl White, Linux, 4G SSD, 512MB DDR2 Intel Mobile CPU &
       Chipset, WIFi 802.11b/g 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, 0.3 M Camera, sleeve
       This is from the box label.  BTW, sleeve is a little cover sort of like a woman's hand purse
        with the fold over flap.

      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 logged on to the site and all of the formats worked, .mpg, wvm, and .avi


      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.

       ****I connected it to a full size monitor and it worked fine.  I also hooked up a USB
       keyboard and that worked well also.  You should be able to hook up any USB device
       including a USB hub.  USB flash/thumb drives work fine.
       You should have no problem with a projector.  I would take along
       a set of head phones (with a mic)  to listen to music and to make Skype phone calls.  It uses
       OpenOffice suite for wordprocessing, spreadsheet, presentations, etc (MS compatible)


     Does Asus have a larger note book with Linux
     pre installed?

     ****Not that I am aware---but there is a site  (http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/asus.html)
     that addresses that question.

     The last "notebook" that had this cool factor .......way back when.....was the old Radio Shack
    one
     that had about a four line screen and used off the shelf batteries and a floppy disk.
     http://www.computercloset.org/TRS80Model100.htm    Yeah, we've come a long way and someday
     one of the computer companies is going to do a laptop RIGHT.;-)

     Hope this helps.

I did a little looking around today and I found a PC Club store in Thousand
Oaks Calif. that had an EEE PC hooked up to the Internet. It played all my videos
on the web site fine with an installed Mplayer plug in on Firefox. The keyboard
is not all that bad if you hunt and peck type like I do. It has a VGA
connector so the screen size is not a drawback when you are home.

What they also had was a desktop computer running pre installed G-OS which is
a GUI running on top of Linux. The whole works was less than $200.... less screen
and keyboard. No DVD burner however. Just a DVD/CD reader. A real bargain.

They also tell me Walmart sells the same thing for about the same price. This
makes Walmart the largest distributor of Linux in the world.
It is equipped with Open Office, ThunderBird and Firefox among many
other applications. This covers about 90% of what people do with PC's.

The G-OS GUI appears to be a joint project with Google.
