 	Wow. They're up to 20 GB already.

 	I got an early one -- 4 GB iirc -- and recently made a 
demoralizing discovery.

 	I got it to boot and run Eedora on the hard drive, along 
with F8 and Puppee on thumbsticks. By then I had concluded that 
with my old eyes and large stiff fingers, its only real use would 
be in waiting rooms with wifi. So I supplied it with a nice case, 
and put it aside.

 	It happened to go three or four weeks without use. When I 
did get it out, the battery was dead. Now that the battery is 
charged again -- a/o while plugged into a wall -- it boots only 
Puppee.

 	Between replacing my monitor, and now trying to get 
Fedora 9, I haven't gotten around to trying to figure out what's 
wrong, much less what to do about it.

 	But I suspect hardware trouble, and I think buying it was 
a mistake.
