OK, thanks. I was considering taking the leap to Ubuntu, but now I'm looking 
at getting a full-blown laptop for work, and I suspect it'll be relegated to 
the closet for eternity.

I would be tempted to load up a couple of emulators on it, but I'm eyeing 
off the Pandora for that. Having a Coco, a SNES and pretty much every other 
8/16-bit computer, console and arcade game in my pocket is just way too cool 
to pass up (not to mention music & movies) - with a reported 10 hour battery 
life too! I don't I'll dread public transport ever again!

Hmm... Lancer on the analogue nub... how many cycles are they failing at 
now?? 400K... ;)

Regards,
