I wouldn't be confident that it's good advice until it's actually turned out
to be useful :-)

There kept being talk about them "coming soon" from various manufacturers,
but they never seemed to take off and actually be for sale. I guess that
tablets canibalised the netbook market.

On the other hand, I am wanting one of these: http://www.raspberrypi.org/

700MHz ARM11 - $35 for the B model, with Ethernet and more RAM.

(although I think that that price doesn't include any media for the OS)
