She took her fancy <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"MacBook Air\" rel=\"wikipedia\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/MacBook_Air\">MacBookAir<\/a>.  I took the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"MSI Wind PC\" rel=\"wikipedia\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/MSI_Wind_PC\">MSI Wind<\/a> that my friends had turned into an amazing triple combo of Mac, plus Ubuntu, plus Windows XP.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I know it sounds crazy, but thanks to a special install by some friends, this 400 euros machine runs all three operating systems.  And on top of that the battery lasted over twice as much as the MacBook Air, it has 3 USB ports instead of one and <a href=\"http:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/varsavsky\/MoroccoEngagementTrip#\">for pictures it had a great SD<\/a> slot that of course <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Apple\" rel=\"homepage\" href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\">Apple<\/a> would never install because it would ruin its hardware aesthetics.  In the desert climate, with a rare connection to electricity, frequent dust and sand, the MSI Wind performed like a star.  Why am I telling you this?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2886\" title=\"fonera-20\" src=\"https:\/\/english.martinvarsavsky.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/fonera-20-300x257.jpg\" alt=\"fonera-20\" width=\"158\" height=\"159\" \/>Because when I shared my enthusiasm with Jordi Vallejo, from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fon.com\">Fon<\/a>, he told me that the managers at MSI Wind loved Fon and it turned out that this was the case cause they loved the idea of doing a Fonera 2.0 \/ MSI Wind bundle which we launched today in France, Italy and Spain with more countries coming soon.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, we are selling both the MSI Wind and the Fonera 2.0 for only 379 euros introductory price.  I hope you like the MSI Wind as much as I do, because it has become my portable computer of choice beating not only the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/macbookair\/\">MacBook Air<\/a>, but all the other netbooks I tested including the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dell.com\/content\/products\/productdetails.aspx\/laptop-inspiron-9?cs=19&amp;s=dhs&amp;ref=homepg\">Dell Mini<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/eeepc.asus.com\/global\/index.html\">Asus EeePC<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.fon.com\/FonShop\/shop\/ES\/ShopController?view=product&amp;product=PRD-021\"> Here\u00b4s the link to order the bundle in Spain<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I would also like to share with you what the blogs say about the Fonera.
