    What is the process for restoring the EEE? I'm sort of trying to plan this out ahead of time as my EEE's will not arrive for a few days. I ordered the surf model from Newegg because it was all they had in stock. Then, I found buy.com had the better model with free shipping so it was a much better deal. Unfortunately, I tried to cancel the Newegg order but it couldn't get canceled.

    The Newegg order will most likely be here a day or two early and I don't know if I could wait for the Buy.com one. So I would like to open the first model and install Windows but if I decide not to keep it can I restore it to the original install? In fact: can I do this anyway? I want to try Windows but I would like the ability to restore if I need or want to.

    I also ordered a USB enclosure so I can hookup an optical drive. Is there an included CD restore disc? Any other options? Do I need to ghost the disk? I don't have ghost so are there free alternatives?
