Dinky computer duly purchased, an HP Mini (nice big keyboard, 1280x768 screen) for 78k yen. Very nice it is too. 'Tis the Vista Business version, a licence which would be useful to me if you could change its install language (as you can, for instance, when picking up a laptop in the Netherlands, where most languages are on offer at first install time) but it's a Japanese-only version and therefore not very useful. Anyway, installing Ubuntu from an SD card was painless, though I still have a few out-of-tree drivers that need dealing with. The keyboard is Japanese, but nevertheless it's a good keyboard with decent sized keys and a sensibly wide spacebar. It hasn't been causing me a problem, though at some point I need to write a sensible keymap. -- Ian.
