Yea, I looked at the units with SD/flash HD but they only have about 32G. Of course, that's probably enough storage and you can buy an external HD but then what makes it less vulnerable? I mean supposedly all laptops were meant to be portable right?


ATT is smart on this one. Being first is rarely a bad thing. Heck, I was on their site and I can get the netbook and an HTC Touch FUZE (refurb) for $100 with the $100 rebate. Heck, they have refurb. IPhones for $100 as well.

well, I haven't looked for a site for modding the Acer but I have found one for the Eee PC. you wouldn't believe what they do to those things. touch screens, just about all the added storage you can cram into them, GPS, bluetooth it goes on and on.

I've seen the touchscreen kits, pretty sweet! If I were to do that, I'd like one that turns into a tablet.

Yea sure, you can have it the entire trip if you want, I'm not gonna have much use for the internet while I'm at the rally considering I won't want to "E-buy" anything and you all will be with me!

Nah, you'd have to get an external drive. If this was my only computer, I'd get one but I'm not sure why I'd have to have one on the road. FYI Radio Shack has an external DVD burner for $70.

Oh for anyone that is interested, the Acer that takes a sim card will take virtually any sim, so you are not restricted to ATT.
When our business building went online, I was on point. To this day I don't know if it was moving 200 desks that were placed to close to the wall or carrying around my Latitude D830 around for 2 weeks that made me miss 2 days of work, with a thrown out back.
