So far it's being looooovely and I spend my days writing sensitive
love poetry to it :-D It was in pretty much new condition.

Actually, the greatest hazard of a gadget like this is immediately
thinking of toys for it. 2GB memory £30, 8-cell battery £40, 32GB SD
card £60 ... already bought two extra chargers for it. (One for
upstairs, one for downstairs, one for work. I'm actually using it as
my main work machine now while I wait for IT to issue me a plain
desktop PC, 'cos the loaner laptop was so crappy.)

I'm writing this in Chromium (daily builds, so today the VP8 compat
downloaded). It's working fine in 1GB so far.

Also: if you set it to use the GTK+ skin, the buttons go on the left
just like in the rest of Ubuntu ;-)
