[Eug-lug] eeePC

[Michael Miller]

I would have to agree with your assessment.  I wonder peripherals are
on the mother board.

I think it would be nice for a parent to have a machine there child
can use and not have to spend more then $200.00 on a computer.  I
wonder how much ram you can stick on that board as well.  Or if there
is any legacy serial ports on it.
