Hi Derek,

Can I ask a favour, I've been doing research for my
dohickey-project.com in which I ask people to run a script which
scrapes a number of hardware details (nothing identifiable) and lets
me test my app against your hardware profile.

Only useful if you've got Linux and HAL installed, and I'll be able to
tell you what the RAM is dead easy.

Best Regards, Martin Owens
