Hey Stephen!

> The Asus EeePC is the 900 based on

Looks to me like 945 chipsets instead of 915's and GMA 900 graphics that should
work great with inteldrmfb.  Like the idea of 12VDC input and would be right at
home here.

> while the Acer Aspire One D250 is Atom based.

Mobile Intel 945GSE Express.  Very close to the Intel Atom 230 mini-itx board
here except the Acer has a 32 bit processor instead of the 64 bit one.  So far
I like the Atoms.  GMA 950 which matches the Atom board here. Works great with
inteldrmfb.  Yesterday I had it on a 1280x1024 32 bit TFT and it looked
excellent.  Not crazy about it needing 19VDC though since the pure DC here is
12VDC.  Would prefer the Atom over the Celeron though.

Going what I see of the latest and greatest, I think the eeepc 1005ha looks
closest to what I would be looking for if I was interested in buying one in the
first place.  That one has an Atom.

I am thinking the same way but don't really need one other than for the Atom
230 which doesn't really need a monitor at all given it's current usage here. 
No mouse or keyboard either.

Probably.  They'll need to clear the warehouses first.  ;-)

Life is good,
Maurice
