I found some online for R3499 - says free delivery in Johannesburg as well. Go to www.iceblue.co.za

Nice post, Barry! I bought an EeePC for my wife and she loves it. I’ve been wanting to write a blog about it, but you’ve done a fine job BTW, we have a lot in common - geeky, several millenia of programming experience (in programming years), and I too am developing Web 2.0 apps in Ruby on Rails, and loving it!

I heard of this only yesterday. I’m most definitely getting one, soonish.

@Tohir: The EeePc does not have 3G / HSDPA built-in. I used my USB modem for that.

I agree with you, it would be great if it had 3G built-in. I guess we can’t have EVERYTHING.

With regards to 3G / HSDPA, was it built in, or are you referring to it picking up the USB Mobile Connect Card.

Regardless of that, it certainly beats Ubuntu.

@Muhammad: I’ve seen them at Incredible Connection and HiFi Corporation.

Rektron also sells them, so you should be able to get them from any of Rektron’s dealers.

I’ve had my little EEE PC for about four months now, and I cannot stop raving about it.

A wonderful little piece of technology indeed.
