    Thanks for the answers Coriolis! Pity that we were left to our own devices for the 250 word entry though. ^_^

    It's not working for me either, and I tried it before Vivek. I guess I'll just have to keep going back.

    Hmm, even so, the LP640 shares the same basic design as the older Murcie. Its just that its got a bigger engine, bigger and better wheels, nicer rear view mirrors, and larger side air vents. The styling stays basically the same, as do most of the major shapes involved in the design, such as the headlights, taillights, hoods (thats where the lines on the lid of the VX1 and 2 came from), etc.

    @Coriolis: The presentation works, but when I hit "submit" to enter the drawing/contest, I get the message that the website is down. I've done this repeatedly all day, still the same result. What's up? And isn't the answer to the first question "All of the above?"

    I have no idea, I didn't enter cause I'm Canadian. Perhaps try a proxy? ASUS's site has never really been reliable :p
