I mentioned it in another thread, but have made a decision to sell this
and buy something else.

It's a black, 4GB 701 machine (ie. webcam and decent battery - NOT one
of the cut-down 'surf' models)

Upgraded to 1GB RAM, extended battery (sadly, this is white - but it
does last 6-8 hours) and a car charger.

No box, but I do have the install disc and manuals.

Purchase date sometime around late Feb / early March - can't put my
hands on the receipt just now, but I'm sure it's here somewhere.

Value - make me a sensible offer - ebay suggests around £130-ish
depending on memory and extras included.

I'll get some pics later - in the middle of cooking.

Will come with the standard Asus Xandros install - unless you have an XP
Pro COA, in which case I can send it out with an un-activated copy of
Windows on it. (Or you could send me the COA number so I can change it
on the machine - I'll need my COA for my next machine)

You were so distracted by the illusionary elephant that you didn't notice 
me shafting your mates cigarettes?

damnit! I think of you all as I smoke my fag after a good meal in a 
restaurant! :)

Incredible. Absolutely incredible. Do it again! Only slower, I want to 
see that bit with the sleeve again. I'm *sure* it's the sleeve.

I'm really glad folk can't smoke in public buildings here now. The 
airway on my left lung closes up somewhat if I have to breath that smoke.

I think you'd object if you spend the night having night sweats, dry 
eyes, coughing and wheezing every time you went out. I avoid getting 
other peoples smoke in my lungs, and it's not so bad.

Isn't it just one of the best album titles ever.  I might buy it just
on the strength of the title.  I've seen SS on Jules Holland a couple

My missus just told me we're off to see Jools Holland & his band for my 
birthday in Harrogate, which is nice.
