Mine just arrived! Black, from eBuyer.
First impressions are very positive indeed... playing with the default setup at the moment, and am extremely impressed with how intuitive the standard OS is. Also impressed that I am touch typing this on the lil keyboard! Who else got theirs?  P -------------------- Paul O'Brien - Microsoft MVP, Mobile Devices, MoDaCo.network Founder.

its here! 1GB RAM installed fine, warranty intact. Word to the wise though, don't enable fast boot in the bios, mine stopped picking up the 1GB stick, displaying the post screen and lost the battery! Disabled it and all is good again though
 Only problem is getting XP installer to boot off a usb stick  (Posted from my EEE PC!) -------------------- This months MoDaCo WinMo Week device: the MWg Zinc II!

My thoughts exactly (as I said in my unboxing!)
Are their margins that slim? P -------------------- Paul O'Brien - Microsoft MVP, Mobile Devices, MoDaCo.network Founder. Check out my Blog! £10 off a £20 spend at eXpansys - click for details |

Oh my what a few days it has been. I stuck with shop.bt.com and decided to be patient (thats after mono and P abandonded me). So I get a despatched email + an Amtrak UK tracking number on weds evening. I track, its collected and shipped down to South from Bolton.
In the morn, thurs, I track (bearing in mind that I was full of hope after BT email said it was a next day delivery) status = 'With Delivery Driver'. I think, all cool he'll be here...its Fri morning and aint got a thing. Ordered two fast memory sticks and 8GB SHDC from BMC, no word either<--Royal Mail recorded mail <--. Never watched a postman so anxiously at 8.30am before. I also noticed three postmen bike past my house during the course of the day while I was on the look out for anything that moved outside the front door. So impressed after watching mono use his eee pc. My gaming sniper-eyes and ears are impressively tentative when expecting a knock on the front door so bad. Well, I hope I get my goods later this morning. P.S. Anyone want a paperback user manual and a driver DVD? Mono forgot his round mine (kiddin)

Woo Hoo!
Black EEE PC just arrived from eBay today! 1st impressions (before turning it on), I'm actually impressed by the build quality, didn't think it would be as solid as it is. I also don't see the keyboard being a problem, although considering I'm used to thumb typing on a qwerty SP, the EEE keyboard should be no problem! -------------------- 1111100111

Mine arrived this morning. Still getting used to Unix again. I think I may well install XP on it.

ok...so...first of all i would like to say that I am totally pumped that my EEE was delivered yesterday! However, I was not there
! I waited ALL DAY for the delivery man to show up, but i knew i had to leave to go on a business trip. I checked the UPS tracking site and it was delivered an hour after i left! I guess thats how things sometimes work. CANT WAIT TO GET HOME!
