Well, it might be handy to have a Smite button, as in the Gary Larson cartoon of God at his computer. :)
This is such a big and controversial subject it's hard to know where to start. There's much truth in what you say. Computers in school should not be presented as a be all, end all thing, but as a tool to augment the overall goals.
But, having gon...
Me too, and I'd especially like to see what they could do with a 10 inch screen, using their compact case technology and leading edge netbook processors, chipsets, graphics, etc. I would be hoping for a very compact "10 inch" netbook with a decent...
I've been very happy with my Eee PC 900A. It's one pound lighter than my Eee 1000HE, a full inch-and-one-eighth narrower, and puts out less heat. This makes considerable difference after 3 or 4 hours in your lap. Admittedly, if you add a 6 cell ba...
I've done the same thing when my wife was in the hospital. No such luck in doctors' waiting rooms, unless they're located in a hospital. I suspect the hospitals just provide public networks because they're associated with local med schools and hav...

I would have thought they'd be more interested in, maybe, incense smoke flow patterns :)

When you get a chance, let us know how you like it and if all your hardware, etc, works OK.
For now, I would take one a little thicker and heavier than you suggest, if it had 8-10 hours of battery time, but not nearly as heavy and lumpy and the Eee 901. For a small unit like this the keyboard should extend to within 0.1 inch of the edge ...
I stand by what I said a month ago. There needs to be a perfect 9" model made that is lighter, super efficent, poweful, durable and sexy.
I think they could easily make a 9" netbooks that is all of those things, but nobody is doing it. What we do...
As long as it runs linux, there should be no loss of capability, imo...
meh, beatniks are being upgraded, hipster = beatnik 2.0 ;)
I smell a "capitalism uber alles" personality on that, powered up by the logic of linux = communism = hippies...
My sister married a computer guy back in the punch card days who ended up working for Cray from just about the start, I think. I just spent the week at their cabin, and we discussed this very subject. When they first considered Linux, many inside ...
Duuude !
Thanks, I'm glad you got a chuckle out of it. Actually by "blogger," I just meant somebody who was responding to the to the main article, rather than writing the blog. To the best of my memory, the main article was about the Wubi Ubuntu installer ...

- I'm from Alabama, USA, in a place with blistering heat, stifling humidity, and hungry mosquitoes, but you don't get to grow tropical fruits in your yard because we have a couple of freezes every winter.
