If something is going to happen, I'm kind of hoping we hear about it soon. I've been about as cheerful and optimistic as one could possibly be, but even I have my moments.

I had my edge on and plugged in for about a week without using it, then went back to it and the e-ink side was non-responsive to input from either the included stylus or my Motion pen. Buttons worked OK. My first thought was, "Crap! I can't afford for anything to happen to this device!" But of course, turning it off and on again cleared it up just fine. It's just that all the talk around here has made me ultra-sensitive to the slightest possible thing that can go wrong, just in case there's no one around to fix it. For the record, I haven't had any trouble with my machine in the year I've had it, other than being shipped the wrong power supply in the beginning. But it was always encouraging to hear everyone else get their technical problems fixed so quickly and smoothly.

In the absolute worst case, I can look at my investment as one that let me go without a laptop for a few months. And that's not so bad of a worst case. And, this has been one of my favourite forums over the past year, since the edge attracts such a unique crowd, so I'm glad for that!

All this talk does make me more seriously consider the Asus Eee Note when it comes to the US, though, as a more portable note taking option.... and a way to stop me from wanting one of the new Motion or Fujitsu tablet PCs! :P
