Funny and insightful article by Mark Steyn, National Review columnist, and author from up North, and fill in for Rush Limbaugh during vacation season.

Linpus OS & Awesome Small Acer Laptop - Aspire One!

A friend of mine introduced me to this gem. She is considering it for her son, and I must admit, it looks nice. It is very small, easy to carry, has all the features of a normal laptop, and has Linux loaded on it, with a unique simple interface. The images at the site offer a look.

Best thing is the low price!
