Mini laptops – netbooks?

    Weird things really…very compact (and as such, not too useful for touch typing), and the solid state hard drives apparently are a lot faster.

    I’ve had a few in my grubby mitts over the last year – and now I’ve got another – the Elonex OneT+ which runs a stripped down version of Linux (when I say stripped down, I mean no root access, no apparent way to install software…). The person who’s PC it is would really like a version of Windows on it (CE most likely – not sure about XP), but reading up on it, it seems the USB ports are good for keyboards and mice, but not for USB memory sticks (WTF? it’s marketed for schoolkids to do their homework etc. on – don’t most of them use USB memory stricks now?), and so I’m finding it hard to get it to boot other media – probably have to put the windows installer on an SD card and try booting from that…

    So, this is what’s keeping my mind busy at the moment 🙂 happy days…

    I can see me putting a full linux distro on it in the end though…heh

    Other than that, I’m doing NOTHING – I’m back in hibernation.
