I'm currently considering a 901. Does anyone here have one and have any comments (good or bad) about it?
Yes, mine arrived yesterday. First impressions are favourable: screen is fine for viewing my digital photos, speed running Stellarium is good, Python 2.5 and 2.5 are loaded, I've been able to install Emacs, LaTeX and tcsh. Haven't been able to get it working on my home wifi yet, nor configure the control key onto caps lock. Keyboard is dinky, OK for those of us who've used a Libretto but tricky for those who haven't downsized in the past. I intend to use it for presenting lectures, making notes in meetings and hacking code while out and about; for these, I think it'll be even better than my Mac. But don't expect to type in that book you've always wanted to write. ..Adrian -- Dr Adrian F Clark WEB: http://privatewww.essex.ac.uk/~alien/ EMAIL: alien/at/essex.ac.uk TEL: +44 1206 872432 FAX: +44 1206 872900 PAPER: VASE Lab, Dept CES, University of Essex, Colchester, CO4 3SQ,UK "The great tragedy of science: the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact" -- Huxley
