The return rate for Linux netbooks is far higher than XP. So the
public may not care when they buy them, but they apparently care after
they try to use them.

Eee PCs with more than 4GB (900, 901, 1000) actually come with two
different SSDs, with the first 4GB on one chip and the remaining
storage on a slower, higher-capacity *MLC* chip...

Over the years I've bought many new computers. I've never yet had one
increase in value, in fact they all drastically decreased in value
after just a few years. I feel certain that my 2G Surf will continue
on in this glorious technological tradition that makes me enjoy going
broke... ;)
