First Look: My new eeePC
My ASUS eeePC 900 making itself at home on the IKEA stool (which I use as a table) in the living room.

It’s the Linux version with 20GB storage. I plan to install Windows XP on it soon.
Keyboard requires serious concentration and so far, I’m getting about 95% accuracy. But the “shift” key keeps tripping me. It’s not where it would be on a regular keyboard. In its place is the up arrow key which I keep hitting and sending the cursor one line above.
Peeking out from beneath the eeePC is the Traveler CoolPad with a higher rear end to lift the machine and allow air to circulate beneath.
I took it to Hoxe’s this evening for a “test drive”. Connected to streamyx hotspot without any problems. I also did some serious work on the eeePC for about 2 hours, which I would hardly do if at home. I need to find an “office” to work in during the day!
