Does it boot off the flash drive? How do you set it up? Would usb
work? Buy.com is selling USB 4gb really cheap. I would like to set
it up with my 505TR. Do folks use USB cards with the old 505?

the eeepc 900 runs Firefox fantastically. I watch movies on it
no problem on the plane to Japan. It can run XP or Mac OS, but I see
no reason to do so. Want to buy one of the oversized batteries for
the 900 for the plane.
