Re: BAISNet - Asus Eee PC

I've been playing around with one (Eee PC 900) and so far, the application software set is quite good for the Linux version.

Timing is better now that the Eee PC 901 is coming out soon. That's supposed to have a much longer battery life.

For my hands, I'd like to have a slightly larger keyboard but I think it's hard to beat for mobility.

K-1? The Eee PC could be the sweet spot...
