I am looking for a desktop replacement. That being so I feel that I would need a large screen, at least 17".

This might be better http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Asus-EEE-Box-B202-Mini-Desktop-PC-Small-Ready-to-Ship_W0QQitemZ130384710724QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_DesktopPCs?hash=item1e5b88cc441GB RAM, 160GB disk and Â199. There are more powerfully chipped mini PC's around, google on "small form PC's" or similar.
SimonPS. I've just switched my e-mail app to Thunderbird and don't know how to write plain text mails. How do I switch HTML off please?
