WD-40, a small flathead screwdriver (a spatula could have been better), and lots of patience.

Then I transferred it to wax paper (the backing of clear acetate, actually for future re-use.

Upgraded to 1 Gig. And I didn’t break the warranty stickers! How’s that for a hack?

Now just how did you manage that?

Wow. I don’t think many users open that many tabs on their firefox. I have problems juggling 10 or so tabs on a 17″ desktop, viewing the same on a 7″ screen would be tough.

So far, I had a hard time adjusting from my Desktop to my eee, mainly because of the screen size. Haven’t experienced slowdown, but I didn’t push my unit yet. Most of my wanted programs (like Festival/FestVox text-to-speech) are not available in the Asus and Xandros repositories. Being new to Linux, still learning the ins-and-outs…

Firefox usually eats up lots of memory. Noticed it on XP. As you said, you have 2 ff opened with more than 15 tabs each, it’s probably eaten a big chunk of your 512MB.
