   Okay, just in case: If anybody in the !lo community manages to find a place selling TouchBooks, buy twenty. ;)

     @pdxdave The HP TouchBooks had a dramatic price cut, to $99/$149 for the 16/32GB versions. They also grew wings and flew out of stores. :)

     @pdxdave ...wait, did I say TouchBook? I meant TouchPad. :(

     @windigo So far she's rather enjoying it, but if someone gets Debian or Arch running on the TouchPad I might have to steal it back ;) !lo

     @keithzg Nice! That explains why they sold out so quickly... I tried a staples where I live. :P

     @windigo Yeah, in the Staples my friend works at the (rather greedy) GM snatched up ALL the 16GBs for himself, even employees missed out!

     @stebrepar Ooh, interesting (although it looks like it's just a chroot?)
