hells yeah i got it.
ok, sure, it wasn't the most necessary purchase of the year, but, i gotta say, it was the best (remember, i got my wii last year). schmulen got one last week and, after playing with it for a bit, i went and got myself an eee pc friday night (mine's black). i loooooove it, as would any sane person. sure, it's not super-powerful/big/fit inside an inter-office envelope, bud damn if it isn't the bestest mini-computer ever. at less than 2 pounds, it can fit in my purse (literally) and does just about everything my home pc does with little effort. and don't let linux scare you -- it's super simple to use, but it is xp compatible if you insist on giving microsoft more of your money. love it. you know you want one.
as a side note, i have joined nerver in her love of top gear. yes, we are girls who watch shows about cars. go figure.

Can I ask a deeply nerdy question and inquire which flavour of Linux you're running? People seem to like Ubuntu and Suse at the moment but at work we're running Red Hat, which is fine but does seem to need constant updates, tweaks and whatnot to make it behave properly.
it's xandros, which is working out quite nicely aside from the fact that i can't do half of my homework on it because my school stuff is all windows this and explorer that. i'm gonna install xp tonight and see how that works, but if i don't like it, i may go back to the linux system and just do my homework on my desktop...
Thanks for that. Are you aware of Open Office? It's a free, open source replacement for Microsoft Office. I use it at work, on Linux, to read Excel spreadsheets and Word documents. Seems to work fine. That might save you the drudge of installing XP if that's what you're lacking in Linux. Hope that helps a bit.
it came with open office, but the real problem is that my school work is xp/explorer stuff -- not even mac friendly.... that and if i use explorer i can use mionet web to access my music at home whenever i want :)
Hyperventilating here...
