Thanks. Man, I was in Austria a couple weeks ago. I would have bought this if they had had them, and I had been aware of them! Bummer. :-)

the logo you see is indeed Aldi, or at least the Austrian version of Aldi, selling the medion at tha same time as in Germany.

I thought the same thing when I first saw the logo! Aldi! But it's slightly different. Makes me wonder if they are related or something, or if it's a rip-off.

Now, will this be in Poland this summer? That's my question! :-)

Oh, and to the placement of the fn key--super! It's in the same place as the fn key on my Powerbook. ;-) Actually, I now switch back and forth between it and an ancient Dell, and I'm starting to get confused. I suppose that, if and when I get the Wind (or this one), I'll give the Dell to my daughters. :-)

is it just me, or does the logo at the bottom look like an Aldi logo?

Although I'm not planning on getting a Wind, it would be nice to see them out there so it forces other major players (ASUS, Dell) to get a move on. I want my eee 901!

Main thing stopping me from getting a Wind: placement of the FN key. They put it in the corner, where the Ctrl key normally is. Drives me INSANE.
