I have one - it's not a touch screen, but they're cute little boxes, and a
great deal.  Once I find a way to write to CF, I'll have linux and
hopefully Squeak on it in a jiffy.

Mine was "recertified", not remaindered, and came in good condition but
with someone else's data on it (MSN connection info, etc).  But it was
$100, not $129, so maybe this is a different deal.
