[TriLUG] Eee?

[Douglas Ward]

I saw a big Auses Eee pc display at the computer shop next to the Alltel
store on Walnut Street in Cary.  Don't remember the name of the pc shop,
sorry.  It's in the big Best Buy shopping center across the street from
Crossroads Ford.  I was pushed for time while replacing my BlackBerry (for
the second time) so I didn't stop in to play with it.  I do plan to drop by
sometime though.  I'd like to see one for myself.
