Tiny PCs - A Break From The Past  Several PC 'facturers are
creating ecological history by inventing "Good Enough" computers
that are extremely efficient when used in the proper niche.
Barring the standard marketing model (ahem, above), these models
aren't the newest, fastest, or even latest tech. But, they are
the best use of electrons for certain applications. And that's
green, refreshing, and novel.  Exhibit A is the Eee PC line of
sub-notebook computers from Asus. The basic model has a 2GB of
solid-state Flash storage (which eliminates the spinning hard
drive) and a wee 256MB of memory. More "advanced" models have
simply more storage and memory, and maybe a camera and a bigger
battery. The simple, brass tacks design is the green element
here; this is simply what the on-the-go roadie needs to check
email, surf the web, do a little Skype, check a few Wikipedia
entries. They all come with Linux but will operate with Windows
if you have to; the middle of the road model is around £219
including VAT.  Fit-PC is
