And several hundred dollars over Mom's budget of "free". (She remembers what happened last time she gave me a positive but constrained budget, she got an Osbourne O-1, it was the only luggable with enough change left from $1K to get a printer back when. I may have to configure "joe" on it, as Dad still prefers WordStar, can't stand the mouse.) But eee pc would be a good solution for a grandmom who doesn't have descendants helping at installfests -- or who don't have a stack of laptops in the junkbox. -- Bill [hidden email] [hidden email] -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
