[HLUG] Bought a Elonex Linux Webbook the other day

[dicegeorge at hotmail dot com]

The Elonex webbook was top pick
in Micromart's review of themj -
I wish I'd bought that one!

It's price is quoted as £219,
there was another model advertised for £139,
and somewhere I read of one with a 7 hour battery..

I do like my Maplin one-
with a USB mouse and keyboard attached...
