More home technology

My lovely wife has recently bought me an Asus eee PC.

Wee 7″ screen and a tiny but useable keyboard. Runs a cut  down Xandros Linux distro and works rather nicely on my BT Home Hub, wirelessly. And this in a cottage with 3′ thick stone walls.

512Mb of RAM and a 4G Flash drive - I’m increasing the RAM to 1M, and bunging in an 8G Flash card.

I’ve used it  on public Wi-fi at Inverness airport  - and much to  my amusement, I can log onto my corporate LAN quite easily - and this from a PC smaller than a hardback book.

I intend to use it to blog on holiday, and upload photos. 

When I travel for work, it will do to take notes, watch video and surf.

I considered using the webcam to upload a self portrait - but I have decided to spare you that.

Nice piece of kit for £219 delivered from Currys Online.
