The Evolve III Maestro has been a popular netbook for some PLUG
members for a while now. Jonathan Simpson even did a presentation on
them at a PLUG meeting last July! He put some notes online, which we
have linked from the website [1].

I'd add to Adam's advice that another good thing to check out is the
piles of stuff they have at the ends of their aisles. You can often
find amazing deals there. (That's where the Evolves were.)
