More likely you would buy a newer version long before the limit comes. I like want Trovals has to say about the new Intel SSD. For me one of the bestest drawback of SSD has been that it can not read and write to the same file. If you save a file it makes a copy of the file you are working on then deletes the old one. Despite these limitations I've bought a Eee PC 901 and I'm in love. I don't need big HDD space, all that I need is a 8Gb SSD card and my 8Gb USB stick. I love that I only need to recharge the battery once a day when I get home. -- Bruce Harding, Member: IEEE, SPIE, IACR Manager, Computer Books for Less 105 O'Connor St. Ottawa ON K1P 5M8 Phone: 613-233-7418 Fax: 613-233-6823
