I spoke to our disti today who's just got off the phone with ASUS, apparently they have been waiting
on an allocation of 4000! but only have 1000 units arriving on Thursday, of which Misco will get
their allocation (who we've ordered from), apparently there is a huge demand for these and they
cannot manufacture them quick enough! they obviously marketed them very well.
These Eee-pc's are now used by RM networks (schools network people) re-badged as a "RM minibook"
