I have two.
Farnement 14 advice said "one per order" so I ordered a second one a while =
ago.
Nic elady who rang up the other day re something else was shocked to
hear I had two.
She said it was strictly one per cistomer so far.
I pointed out what their ad had said and she reiterated the party line.
No problemo - my reality trumps her party line :-).
BUT     I don't want them to jusyt be shelf ware- even for months
while their world gets more stable.
BUT     it is evident even from this thread that for a non-Linux man
the get it going curve is a little less steep than desirable (steep is
good, just nobody notices the terminology is backwards :-) ).
AND     reality informs me that I am not going to spend the time to do
it the hard way (regardless of how good that may be for one's
character).
SO       What would be nice [tm] is a spoon fed do
this-&-this&-this&-this&-this&-this&-this & it's away and it's close
enough to Windows in this mode that you can almost use it.

Any advice on where to find the best version of such a spoon would be
appreciated - and not just by me.

My early aim is multimedia slideshow* but much else suggests itself.
