:-P
Seriously, yes please Brian, I would be very interested to know what
they are like.
What have you gone for, the 2GB/256Mb or the 4GB/512Mb version? What
sort of price did you get them for? Presumably you bought them as an
academic organisation, as opposed to a private individual?
I have just asked a mate in SF if he will forward on one of the gOS dev
boards, as the company that are flogging them aren't shipping outside of
the US. I reckon that will make for a nice little always up machine that
bridges the gap between a proper pc and my Slug.
