 Radio Shack sells them too. No way comparable with the EeePC.
 Hard drive don't fly well at high altitude.

 The EeePC 1000 Linux version has a larger screen and tons of software
 built in
 for free.. plus six hour battery life. No hard drive. 40 gig solid state
 memory.

Craig,
That's the one I purchased and that's a good price, similar to what I paid
considering the exchange rate. A great little computer. I find the touch pad
too small, I use a mouse and the batter life sucks and is about the normal
half of 'advertised life'.
Didn't know about the hard drive problem at altitude.
Horses for courses I guess.

Be aware that the hard drive version (130gb) does not come with Bluetooth
like the solid state one does.  Its battery life is also lower...
