Bad news about ASUS EEE mini-PCIE connector

[Walter Dnes]

...or lack thereof.  A bit of a firestorm at the EeeUser forum
http://forum.eeeuser.com/

1) ASUS is now shipping EEE's *WITHOUT* the mini-PCIE connector

2) If you got one *WITH* the mini-PCIE connector, attaching any
peripheral to the connector disables the built-in SSD (Solid State
Drive)

  This looks like a bug in the circuitry.  I think that ASUS is simply
trying to avoid legal problems here.

Q. Mr. Ghandi, what do you think of Microsoft security?
A. I think it would be a good idea.
