Thanks to Natch & cassidym for their welcome.

Thanks too to Marc. The dana is a device that's aimed at the primary & junior secondary education sector. For years though it's also filled a gap for those who just want something to wordprocess with (and don't care about bells and whistles!) that's relatively inexpensive (in comparison to laptops), that's light, and that has a decent sized keyboard. It's pretty ugly, but it does the job. Its OS is Palm, so it also has a bit of flexibilty in terms of what you do with it - within the limitations of its display. Reckon though that the dana's days are numbered with the arrival of eee PC and with the leaps and bounds that the OLPC project has made.
