Asus Eee

This is exciting. The Asus Eee. It's so inexpensive it's scary and it's a solid state system.

There's virtually no space and the screen is tiny so it's not laptop replacement. However, it's more portable and likely more comfortable in ones lap so it may be a great platform to take on the road.

I'm strongly considering buying one for ciding, especially since I can buy one with linux pre-installed.

Silly Rabbit, Linux is Free as in Freedom

Some silly teacher went and confiscated (without good reason) some kids copies of HeliOS. It's a sad sad world when our teachers are so confident in what they don't understand. Alright, it's not so bad. This is just one idiot and for some reason schools seem to have a tendency to try far to hard to obey the law. Often obeying laws that don't actually exist.
