Thanks for reviewing the Aleutia. It's nice to know that you can compute "off the grid", but you didn't indicate that it comes with a built-in monitor, or does it? Chances are that you won't be able to schlep around a monitor, and even if you do, chances are that the monitor is strapped to the grid. Like the MacMini, it will probably sell better for its quietness, low power consumption, and (some day) equivalent power as a standard desktop.
Also, no mention of a CDROM drive. Does it have one?

well I would have liked to read this, but I can't. There is no text content.
