No, not thinking that. I know it is not like my MacBook, that is why I would like to get my hands on one. > These things are designed to be small and light first.

As we all > know, buzz doesn't mean they're the right tool for every job. :) I am thinking of this for a few specific jobs: - for my daughter to use while for web surfing and writing away from her desktop. - for me and my daughters to use next summer for web surfing and email when I take a trip abroad. In both cases the alternative is my MacBook Pro, which works great but is also larger, heavier, sometimes in use by me, and worth 5-10 times what the Eee PC is, all of which are disadvantages for some or all of the listed uses.
