I knew you had bought one, so I was hoping you would notice this bit of news.
It was quite a long time ago that you sought information about an Archos unit
and wrote a short review.
I tried a couple of Archos model at the airport and they were fantastic. I'll
probably have another chance to do it next week when I go on vacation. Dixon's
has them on display. Like The Inquirer, they have no mentioning of the fact
that it runs Linux.
