Check out this picture. My [[[Asus Eee PC]]] next to a 12-inch PowerBook. What’s really crazy is that the Eee has a faster processor. I had total flashbacks today seeing these two computers next to each other. The 12-inch was my favorite Mac of all time. I built a blog around blogging about that machine (3650 and a 12-inch), and that site led to my freelancing for O’Reilly, which led to several books.
In any case, I’m still loving the Eee. I’m using it now to post this (and to do as much of my not-at-my-desk and mobile computing as I can). Since yesterday, I’ve shrunk the default system font to 8 to maximize screen real estate. I’ve successfully had a skype chat with video (w00t) and installed a bunch of cool stuff that I’ve yet to use.
I like being untethered by OS X or Windoze. Being on a free platform is pretty damn cool.
Now if only I could run iTunes and sync my iPhone with the Eee, I’d be all set. 😉
