More Coolness

OK, I think my title deserves a little more explanation. I need things to write about, and if I can focus on what I like - what I think is 'cool', I should be able to do just that. Perhaps I will change the title some day, but for now it fits.

Speaking of coolness, I just discovered a little gadget that's pretty cool. It's called the Eee PC, and it is just about the smallest laptop I have ever seen. I am not a CS major or an EE, but I am pretty tech savvy and things like that can get my attention. The laptop is 6" x 9" when it is closed, and it comes with Linux pre-installed. Now I am not a Linux user (yet) but I do have an adequate antipathy for all things Micro$oft. For that very reason (and the fact that I have more fun on a Mac) I have used Macs my entire life. I won't go into a detailed comparison of Mac/Windows, I don't want that to be the focus of my 'blog. Just let it suffice for me to say that Mac users have more fun. Despite my preference for Macs, I would be willing to try Linux, because this little two-pound gadget only costs $350! As a side note, I now am going to list my upgraded 12" iBook for sale at $350. Even if my iBook doesn't interest you, you should still check out the Eee PC on Wikipedia.

I'm also planning to put together a "Top ten list of Coolness", if any of you have nominations (places or things, not people, please) you should let me know. Don't be offended if I do or don't use your suggestions, I made this 'bolg so I get the final say!

Thanks, all!
