Proof of Concept Post

We got our tax refund. Hal bought me an Asus eee. My God it's little and cute. And pink. It needs Hello, Kitty stickers all over it. It's not as shiny as I expected. No, not Serenity slang this time, but literally not as shiny. The surface is more nubbly-matte than it looks in the pictures. But it's smaller and lighter than many hardbacks, and it should oughta fit into my purse. Still learning the smaller keystrokes it needs, but I think that will come okay with practice. Meantime, here I am in the living room, posting to LJ on my eee. My wee eee. Whee!

Edit: Strangely, the eee seems to have dated this post April 1, last night when I posted it. I'm correcting that now, but it's weird to have your computer play April Fool's jokes on you. Viva Linux, I reckon.

Congratulations.

Thanks! I've been wanting a computer small and light enough to be a plausible on-the-train word processor, and I think this will work out nichely. The web capability is just gravy, really, but it's pretty tasty gravy.

Being cheaper than many desktop systems doesn't hurt, either.

If only you could play Wii games on it. Little Wii games. So you could play wee Wii on your wee eee.

Okay, that was a lot of effort for very little result.

Oh, no, I think it's lovely -- I wanted to work the Wii in there somehow. And maybe a bit of squee, too.

You're hilarious! :-)

Not me, man. I'm not the one who gave it the undignified name in the first place.

Wear it in good health :->

Heh. Thanks. It's a bit big for a brooch, but it's not totally out there for a compact, and it's definitely small enough to make a clutch bag.

Whee!! I can't wait to see it. I think I have some Hello Kitty stickers.....if I do, I'll bring them and you are welcome to them if you want.

Well, don't kill yourself finding the stickers, but cool if you got 'em. It's a very Hello, Kitty laptop.

This must be catching. When I got into work this morning I was talking to a co-worker who found out her mother has stage 4 breast cancer while she was on a work trip last week. Anyway, she was excitedly telling me how her husband surprised her with one because he felt she needed something to lift her mood......hers is white. She took it with her yesterday when she went with her mother to meet the oncologist and was taking notes.....

Cool! I plan to wait for the 10" screen and larger drive and then use it for both travel and desk (with a hub as a port replicator).

Are you sure it's not just set to a different timezone?
