PC Sub-Notebook Information:
Asus
Moves 350,000 Eee PCs, Best Buy Launch Next Year:
Still
burning up the charts at Amazon (currently no. 2 in computers, with a month-long
leadtime) and other retailers six weeks into its US launch, we doubt anyone's
jolted awake by the news Asus's Eee PC has moved over 350,000 units, 50k
more than expected by the end of this year.

Asus
Eee PC on a Plane to Japan With 16GB and Possibly Windows:
Asus
Japan has announced that their beloved little lappie, the Eee PC, is heading
to Japan. Normally we don't care too much about one of our toys touching
down over there, but they're also getting a new 16G(B) model, whereas our
rainbow of options ends at 8G. Also, it's rumored they're getting Windows
XP as a pre-install option.

EEE
Dial-Up Modems:
Both
the 4G and 8G models have a port for an external phone line, but don't
contain an internal modem card or modem cable.
The
RJ-11 phone jack had been plugged up with a rubber stopper to prevent dirt
getting into the case.
A suitable
external USB dial-up modem:
I
was able to source a suitable very small footprint modem from:
http://www.itsupacentre.com.au/swannsmart-external-modem-p-1889.html
This
will run under XP and XP PRO, however it appears that Linux drivers aren't
available.
External
USB DVD R/W drive:
Best
spot I could find to buy one of these was:

seller Hong Kong. great little unit. Two USB plugs for power and Data.
I grabbed an iPOD 1Amp AC to USB power adapter from JB HiFi to power it,
