Off of Ebay. Doesn't everyone? :) The one I mentioned is a Fujitsu A250. I think my purchase was a good one but how can anyone work out how and why Ebay sellers pitch their wares. The device works well for me, so I am satisfied. Dan Ritter has a point though. If I were to buy anything similar now, I'd consider the Raspberry - although it would mean leaving my comfort zone of Debian. Ebay (UK) has the HP T5730 for about 20 GBP. A 1GHz CPU. Not quite up to processing HD video but a smart machine. -- Brian.
