eeePC

Glen brought both an OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) laptop and an eeePC to the ILUG (Irish Linux User Group) PotD (Pint of the Day) last night. I really like the eeePC and will be taking a look at the old bank balance to see if I can afford one. Even though the keyboard is small, it's still possible to type at a reasonable rate, and the three issues that I have interest in are being worked on: a larger screen (without increasing the form factor size of the overall unit), longer battery life, and a larger internal capacity (the 8GB model is supposedly due out in March some time.)

All in all, a good time was had by everyone at The Long Stone, and I've no doubt the next PotD (Pint of the Day) will be announced shortly.
