I’ve just found good news out about the Eee PC. It seems someone has already gotten a driver out for the Sierra USBConnect 881u air card I have. Here’s a link to the post on the eeeuser.com forums.
I realize now that I’m not going to be able to resist this little confection. I’d much rather get the 8g, but they are out of stock and it’s going to be a while before they are out. I’d like to get one before I got to Alaska so I have a notebook, but am not burdened too much by carrying it around.
Naturally I’d upgrade the memory from the default 512 (ouch – but then Linux will run in most any environment) to 2g with a 1 x 2GB 2GB PC2-5300 DDR2-667 200-Pin SO-DIMM. They don’t seem so expensive these days. I may just upgrade the Toshiba as well and, while I’m at it, I may as well look at memory for the MacBook.
Aloha!
Slower, cheaper, less useful…
