I don't, but my brother and one of my colleagues each have one: both love it. In my brother's case (who commutes by train without a laptop) it means his PDA is gathering dust; he finds it an ideal skype device, photo viewer, and remote desktop to his PC. Took it across the Atlantic when he was supposed to be on a brief 'holiday' with his family - a laptop would have been illegal, but he was allowed to get away with taking the Eee. For my colleague, who bought it for sofa surfing at home, he increasingly leaves his laptop behind and takes a lighter load when he's on the road; he just takes the Eee, which connects via bluetooth to his phone to give him connectivity anywhere. I very briefly tested one of my Rev apps (that I've never made a Linux build of before) on the Eee and it seemed OK (but *very* brief test). Whether it works for you I guess just depends on how it will fit into your lifestyle/workstyle - I'd get one except that it makes no sense in my life, since I live 100yds from my office, and would require surgery to detach my laptop... But it's 2 for 2 in the direct reports I've had. - Ben _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
