so many people took advantage of the $399 eee-pc-1000he netbook sale
last time, I felt I better mention that it is on again.

http://www.catchoftheday.com.au/

I noticed some users experienced a few problems, but they seem to have
overcome them.

I had a problem yesterday, that I ended up spending quite a bit of time on.

Wireless network card went missing. I had installed a 2 gig ram to
replace the one gig ram that it came with. You need to do an F2, get
into bios, then a save via F10, and the 2 gig is recognized. I did a
small write up on this on the EEE user group.

However, did I upset the WLAN, and accidentally disable it, when I
jumped into BIOS?

I guess I must have. (Silly Old Fart Syndrome)

All is well now, and I have no further reason to buy yet another $399
netbook. :-)

Cheers Don...

Yesterday. I copied across data files in readiness to install software.
I have installed avg, tidied up desktop shortcuts.
I used Add/Remove programs to remove the MS Office 2007 trial software.
Since then, booting, which was previously less than a minute now takes in
excess of 4 minutes.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I've done the same thing, removed Office 2007 (installed 2003) and installed
free AVG.
No problems, boots in one minute.
