Waiting for my Eee PC

[slooksterPSV]

I like using XP on this; but there are a few things I miss
1 - The dock my applications I have to hunt them down
2 - Memory management; XP does an OK job, but OS X I didn't have to worry about my memory
3 - Automatic Cron jobs; my iBook would take care of common tasks and make my system run fine no matter what
-------------------------------------------------------

But I do love my Eee PC; its tiny, portable, light, runs great with XP nLited, I can clock it to the original Processor speed (Intel Celeron M 900mhz, runs at 630mhz regular and less on battery, but I have a utility eeectl that will let me control that).
It doesn't heat up like my iBook did; I can play flash games and all that unlike my iBook. It's the best of both worlds having both the iBook and the Eee PC.

The third-party applications are out there. Windows also does a lot of that stuff already, just in a different way.

Some of the nice-to-have tools start here:

Ok to give you guys a size view of 800x480 pixels; I took a screenshot so here it is:

glad you like it, but personally, I don't see the point. an iphone/smartphone/pda is a whole different category because it can go literally everywhere with you, without even thinking about it (pocket-sized). Yes, this thing is much smaller and cheaper than a traditional laptop, but it's so massively underpowered, and it's still not in that automatically-go-everywhere category like an iphone. Basically, it's still big enough that if I were going to take it somewhere, I'd just as soon take a real laptop. But that's just me.
