Hello.

Sorry for the late reply, work has been very busy!

Thank you for your replies.

Alex Atkin UK: to be honest, most of what I do is so basic, like youtube, web surfing and watching a few movies, that it seems a bit unnecessary to use my desktop for that. Hence the reason why the N900 is perfect as a computer replacement for me!

I think your right about maemo being pretty stripped. I think the slowdown is more to do with bugs in the processes (Conky is a great tool for finding buddy processes). So in time, I think N900 will run at peak performance.

JohnLF: Thanks for the link, a bit pricey though, but then again I assumed it wouldn't be cheap!

AlMehdi: Have not heard of Bluemaemo but will definitely check it out... thanks!

So far, bluetooth keyboards and mouse I have found are expensive.... heres to continuing googling!
