Just an update.

I RMA'd my Eee and it was sent back to me this week and the engineer
had reported "Unable to simulate your error - returned unrepaired".
Needless to say I was a little livered!  But I had owned it for less
than 28 days and so took it back to PC world this evening,
demonstrated my problem, and was offered a refund or replacement.
They didn't have any stock, so i took the refund.

I'm not put off however, and after a little bit of searching, located
stock in dabs.com

It's on order and will hopefully be with me next week to be Ubuntufied
from first boot!

Cheers
--Michael
