Good Day,

I am a Science Fiction writer in the United States, with thirty years experience writing for the computer, telecommunications, and non-profit sectors.

I am interested in writing a review of your product, which I would then make available to various writers organizations and web pages, including my own.

Netbook type PCs are of great interest to writers due to their compactness, long battery life, and reasonable purchase price.

Regards,

Warren Brown

UMB – If only OLPC could have the same features. Maybe with XOXO.

bandersson – add on cost for becoming popular perhaps?

FJ – I think consumers should start getting out of the Windows culture.

Yeah, certainly. That sounds like great value. For $250 I don’t think you’d expect to run Windows.

I think we should also encourage software developers to slim down the bloat.

I think this brings us one step closer to a workable Ultra Mini PC for the masses. These will be especially useful in impoverished countries and for the children of these countries around the world. We’re almost there but we have just a little further to go.

- Kind regards
