[senit] Asus Mini Books

-----Original Message-----

[Commercial interest declared]

As Ian said, WriteOnline will work on the Asus mini book as well as Mac OS X and Windows. Kevin and I will be showing WriteOnline at the Special Needs Fringe. Unfortunately I don't think we'll have any of the ASUS machines at the Fringe. But if you're wanting to see what WriteOnline looks like on the Asus mini book we'll have a couple on our BETT stand.

There's more information about WriteOnline here: <http://www.cricksoft.com/uk/writeonline/>
