Could be.  It still feels like that could take some work to get a good combination to run e-mail and browsing in -- might have to not use Thunderbird and Firefox...  Not sure.

On another front, I ended up ordering a new Netbook today.  So, I have a fairly lightly-used Eee 901 in black that I'd be willing to sell for, say $175.  Used for little more than about a month, related a trip I took earlier in the year.  It has the extended battery which gives it around 5 hours of runtime with Ubuntu on it.

It doesn't have an OS on it, but I can put back the original software that came with it -- that funky Linux distro.  It's got the 20GB solid state drive -- 4GB and 16GB, I think it has 1GB of RAM, whatever...
