but i didn't say i want a HIGH end gaming machine, even a P3 is enough for me, as i hardly do any CPU intense tasks apart from compiling

Ever heard of Wifi? Flash drives? Email? All those are much preferred to tranferring by CDs. CDs/DVDs may be a good choice for archival purposes, but you don't need to have that in this kind of a laptop.

What we need to give a verdict is the news of WHEN and AT WHAT PRICE the EEE PC Will Come to India.

PS: i came from 345 BC
[edit]
lol, i wanted to say i use wifi,flash drives but most of the data is still transfered via CD/DVD. like if i gotta watch a movie(suppose I get originals, so don't download from torrents) it comes in DVD, so i have to do copy it to flash driver, it i need another acess PC. and most of the times movies are such that they can'nt be copied. so now what?
