Microsoft to relaunch mini-notebooks tomorrow: news.cnet.com What do you want to bet that either CompactFlash or SD (or MMC) is a prominent feature? I guess we'll find out tomorrow. *I don't think these new mini-notebooks are going to fare any better sales-wise than the last ones.

Re England 1) How do you find CompactFlash and MMC prices in England in general??? Aaaarrrgggghhhhh ( insert sound of credit card melting down.) 50% higher. Ie swap the dollar sign for a pound. In fact, if you logon to buy.com it asks you what country, if you look at US and UK prices you can see almost exactly this. However, for cameras, the prices seem similar, maybe 15% - 20% higher (and often a better UK package, ie includes extra flash or a charger, for example canon S20) 2) Why do the English call a shopping cart a "trolley". Dunno. And you folks invented them so we should call them a trolly I suppose. 3) What do they call a trolley then? What's a trolley? Tw "You say tomato, I say genetically enhanced food product"
