It's MIPS though... that means the Adobe Flash plugin won't work,
right? As I recall the flash plugin isn't architecture agnostic... I
suppose you could get the free as in speech flash alternatives going
on it... anyone had any experience with gnash or the like?

That kinda kills it for me (as a NETbook)... not having flash is like
not having CSS support these days...

Playing music / reading / watching movies on it though wouldn't be too bad
