Michel,

This is a popular Acer netbook model w/ 8.9" screen, 1GB RAM, 16G Solid
State Drive (never lose data to hard disk crash, and faster boot time)
running Windows XP and priced at $279.

We've collectively raised $225 (after Fundable's 10% fee) + $100 (from Ryan)
which comes up to $325, so that just covers the tax and ground shipping.
