After being overseas since early June, it's a delight to come home to
gems like this. I was reading a novel about the Minotaur, and now it's
the Furies. Sometime being a little off-topic is a wonderful thing.
Now, I'll have to scan the archives to see what else I missed.
Thanks, Constance, et
The folding Palm infrared keyboard is quite nice to type on but the
infrared would rule it out. Other manufacturers make blue tooth...

Supposedly, the Eeepc is the first of a whole herd of microcomputers
from various manufacturers. I'd like to hear from other ComputerGuys
list members when they hear about, and use, these new machines.

Would one of those regular sized rollup USB keyboards work with an Eeepc?

This is weird. The Blessed Ones is the name by which the Furies
are commonly called, in Greek and Roman religion and literature. I
sat down at my computer this morning, glanced at the subject line of
the incoming emails, and wondered why the Furies were a topic of
discussion on a
There's probably some kind of analogy to the present situation, to
the actual topic of this thread, but I don't want to think about it.
I think you're overanalyzing this but your point is clear.
Sometimes the Mac people come off as Eumenides to the non-Mac
people. That much is apparent. But
Well, the Eumenides are also known (in translation) as The Friendly
Ones and a translation of eumenides is, roughly, the pleasant
ones. So maybe we should think about that when talking about Mac
versus PC.
BTW, I use PC at work and (mostly) Mac at home. I just got my first
Linux box,
I guess dogs, cats, and penguins can play together.

Well..I don't argue apple doesn't use quality parts, but as stated in
another thread, asus makes their motherboards at least for the laptop line.
And Apple doesn't use special memory, also off the shelf stuff, the hard
