Asus Eee PC900HA XP Netbook

I've had it for about a week.  For $350, it's everything I had hoped for. 
But geez, the keyboard is cramped!  Yes, I expected it, but it's quite 
difficult to type well.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with it.  The wireless connection seems to pick up 
everything.  Who knew there were so many wifi networks in the middle of 
nowhere?  Apparently, I'm a late adopter...  Most are unsecured, too, so 
(ethical considerations aside) you could basically strap it onto your back 
while riding your bike and send emails to your friends at the edge of a 
cornfield.  Yes, I tried it in a couple places.

The beautiful thing about it is the size.  It's about like carrying around a 
day-planner.  The downside is also its size, with the tiny screen 
(1024x600), but it works well for everything I had wanted, and it is 
possible to plug in a monitor, keyboard and mouse if you really want.  I 
haven't tried POV-Ray yet, but it's on my list of things to do.

Me happy.  =D
