Yes, the ideas of what that might be look yummy. But the iPhone is
plenty of netbook for me at the moment; I'm rather lusting after a
MacBook Pro to replace my MacBook, but how to justify the expense ... ?
I have a crappy old Winders laptop which I have tried to convert to
Ubuntu, but it wouldn't go into the limited RAM (about 256b, it's
difficult to tell what's RAM on a bloomin's Winders machine!).
