[Novalug] Are we ready for this ?

[Rich Goodwin]

I tend to agree a bit with Greg.  I love the concept but ther are
practical aspects thta need to be looked at.  1024x600 is a tad shy of
what somem apps need to be useful vice aggravating.  The ASUS eee is my
point.  Web browsing at that resolution winds up having windows that
popup but cannot be fully displayed within 600 pixels.  From a usability
perspective somethings need to change to accommodate usability on
smaller res screens.  I also wonder about the durability of the
screens.  

The ADAM extras are _very_ interesting.  They almost outweigh the
negatives.  The final price break and some reviews will help me figure
if that works.  So I am willing - with caveats.
