[Discuss] EEE

[Daniel M German]

Well, in an irrational moment I bought an EEE. It was like (i have
been told :) walking into a shoe store and ending with shoes you were
not expecting to buy.

I got the 4G, black model. So far, it is great. I am _very_
impressed. I have recommended it to at least 2 people who were no
linux users and are very happy with a "Easy Mode" and the fact that
they can do soo much without having to install anything (one of them
installed Eclipse, just for kicks :)

It is half the size (both weight and dimensions) of my macbook. I
haven't had a Linux laptop for the last 4 years. I got tired of
"recompiling my kernel". This computer works out of the box. I
connected an HP printer and worked like a charm. It autodetected my
network printer without me doing anything. It even mounts an ipod (if
vfat formatted). 

My only complain so far is that the buttons of the touchpad are _very_
stiff.

I am not sure why I needed it :) but it certainly is a nice
entertaining station: today in the kitchen I spend some time reading
the NYTimes while listening to music.

I think these computers are going to change the way people perceive
Linux in the future. 

Anybody else has one?
