begin progress report

This is my asus 4g eee pc. well, rather it will be. this entry is just kinda the carrot imma have to dangle in front of my nose for 3 more paychecks so I don't get side tracked.

it's a very nice little machine. specs are:

• 4 Gig of hard drive memory.

I. not much I realise, but my current libary of music'll only fill half of that(technicaly only 1.6~8 gig) plus theres also the option of an SD card. so no worrys.

II. plus it's an SSD(solid state drive) meaning less suseptible to drops and shakes than the normal disk hard drive.

• A little 900 mHz celeron processor.

I.no hardcore gaming on this machine, but thats not its purpose. so 900 mHz aint bad for surfing and doc sharing.

• 512 Mb of onboard RAM(random access memory)

I.really the only thing I'm not impressed with. they could've easily ft a gig in there. but then I suppose the little price would go up a bit. eh.

II.plus the fact that its soldered in there,so you can't upgrade the ram. or the hard drive, for that matter. someone had an itchy trigger finger on the soldering gun.

• Nice form factor, tiny, nice little 7" screen, three USB ports(the only things I'll usae with USB are my graphics pad and my sd card reader, and maybe a USB mouse. but either way, plenty)

Anyhow, I plan to bin the default OS (Xandros) for a bit nicer(in my opinion) Linux OS (ubuntu) and hopefully running Beryll, cuz that shit is CRAZY cool. and perhaps in the long run I'll pick up parallels and run XP on the side. dunno.

anyway, thanks for reading my geek moment. :]

current progress: $100.89/$399.00

next paycheck: 7.4.08

I have no patience.
