Eee PC Notebook

[Richard Meyer]

Went and lloked at one yesterday, and I WAS impressed. It was the only
one in Myer here in Perth, but the screen was readable and quite devent
considering that it was 800x480 or whatever. The sales droid said they
were selling as fast they were coming in.

I liked it .....

As he said - if it gets stolen, it won't make you weep real tears,
unlike if it was an IBM X series machine ....  ;-)

Cheers

Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.
It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.
