During my wait they were telling me that the previous display model had been stolen by someone who'd stuffed it up their jumper. And that includes the chunky blue metal anti-theft housing! :-o Yes, it's in good condition so I'm pleased.

We were in ToysRUs at Lakeside and I saw a fixed display model of the Asus. I mentioned to my wife that this sort of this was the future and might enable each student to be given a laptop equivalent in class. Then she pointed out the keyboard - there was one key left on the entire thing - the rest pulled out. :( The current Asus looks good - but the next version(s) will surely be the really useful ones - extended battery life, better screens and hopeful other goodies.
