[NBLUG/talk] EEE PC..

[jim]

   i got a partial answer from earl, one of the 
owners of zareason: the eee pc uses chips, not 
sd form-factor. expansion or modification is a 
matter of getting raw chips and installing them. 
he hasn't done that and won't vouchsafe that the 
process is as simple as pushing chips in.
