This might be old to some of you. But if your looking at another mini notebook, this seems promising. I saw it on Amazon for under $400 which is nice for a Atom 1.6ghz processor w/8gb SSD and 512mb Ram. This also has the 8.9" screen

By the way this runs a NEW version of linux, "YALD" (yet another linux distribution) <smile> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linpus I couldn't get to the original site, won't load. http://www.linpus.com 2008 has definitely turned out to be the year that "Linux took over the mini notebook market" --Manny PS -- Thanks for showing up at the meeting, had a good time! ;-)
