My Slackware Tee Shirt

12, Nov, 2008

Yesterday I was sitting at the table having my afternoon Java (Eight O’clock makes the best coffee!!), when the postman arrived at the front door holding a package. Quite strange as I wasn’t expecting anything. It was addressed to me, so of coursed I started to open it. As soon as I began to tear open my package, The Boss (my girlfriend) comes running around the corner cussing. She was after my package, and in a hurry too!! This just made me even more curious as to what was inside.

New Linux Net-Book

I don’t care too much for all of these pint sized net-books like the eeePC and such. Not my cup of tea. A little small, a little under powered, and a little pricey for what they do. I can see how some people would want one of these toys. Light and portable, decent enough to do a some work while on the road. Can’t say I believe the media aspect of them. Screen is too tiny to be entertaining. At $300-$400 a pop, not much of a price difference to jump up to a full blown laptop with a real CPU, 2x the screen size, and more capabilities.
