A few actual specs of the 9" eeepc have been released.

I'm not sure going with a larger screen was really necessary or a good move.
Ety P to S converter cable - sounded like my boy Reks needed one to use with his Touch and one happened to pop up cheap on HF this morning so I grabbed it. Expect this to show up in the "what you sold" thread soon.
The Ipod Touch will have to do for now. Hopefully a refund associated with the return of a certain laptop will process tomorrow which might go to fund errrm, something else.
Not bought yet, but I may have to buy a MAC purely so that I can play this.

Dark Castle and Return to Dark Castle were two of my favorite games growing up.
In my head it's a more useful eeepc, longer battery life, more storage and can do the light computing (web, email) that I would have used an eeepc for. Granted it's smaller, but then again I few that as a bonus, not a bummer.
For those of you now on the Buy.com mailing list one of the current specials is a 750GB WD "My Book" external drive for $159 w/ free shipping. That's about as cheap as I've seen that much storage.
So far it's pretty good and a definite upgrade over the stock Comcast software. It's still not as good as the real thing but I think now that they've gotten over the initial hurdle of getting the software to work with the Comcast box I have hope that they'll be able to refine it to work even better.
I'm surprised to hear that, the CKKIII isn't exactly a slouch when it comes to power. That's not in any way meant to contradict your listening experience but I'd be surprised if the NAD has anything all that special attached to its headphone jack.
They have some "decent" deals on 16GB refurbs right now at the apple store. I would have gone that route if I hadn't been able to score another 10% off that price. Without knowing how it'll work for me I just couldn't pull a Jacob and go bleeding edge with the 32GB version, yet.
16GB Ipod Touch - figured I'd give it a whirl w/ a less expensive used one and if the concept works for me I'll probably upgrade to the 32GB version in a couple months. HBTM.
Thanks everyone. Had the family down to the house yesterday for a little party and it was good fun. Now, time to figure out what I'm going to buy myself for my birthday.
10 years ago maybe, today no way. I used to rock climb a bit, cliff dive a bit and generally behave like I had nothing to worry about. Those days are now long behind me.
Seems like a good price for a meter that can do the normal stuff plus capacitance and temp, I'd like to have a meter that had both of those functions as well.
