[Noisebridge-discuss] OT: seriously considering buying a netbook

[jim]

   see what zareason has to offer. zareason is a linux-only 
family run business in berkeley, notable for helping various 
community efforts and promoting linux as well as women in 
technology (Cathy Malmrose is the CEO, her husband Earl is 
the chief technician, their two high-school-age sons are 
the techies, though i understand they've now got an external 
person employed). i've bought several computers from them 
and love their service: i ask questions, i get answers (and 
good answers!).

   here's a link to their Terra A20 Ubuntu Notebook ($349 
base price):

   i'm interested in getting one of the above. 
   if you want something less expensive, take a look at my 
eee pc that i bought from them: the 900 series, $200, which 
seems a bit low wrt to offerings on craigslist (mine is in 
perfect condition and compares to a similar, but broken, 
one advertised for $200 or the smaller ones advertised for 
$200 or the larger ones advertised for $250 or more).
