Agreed, the eee is great (almost as nice as the Acer Aspire One which  
I use) but who wants all that hassle with Linux configurations and  
lugging around even a tiny laptop (especially on your bike!) when you  
can just use your phone to log tracks? Many phones have GPS built in  
and almost all the others have Bluetooth and there are plenty of free  
applications (including my own, 'mom') see the wiki at...
