Amro - I get some email offers from time-to-time, and recently, they have been offering what they call "offers" on UMPCs, so thought I'd try and find out more! - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Amro Bilal" <amro_bilal@xxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, August 25, 2008 1:47 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Ultra Mobile PCs | Andy and Sakib, yes the Advent 4211 runs Jaws nicely indeed.
