Hi, I'm wondering if anyone out there is using the Asus Eee PC? If so, what OS and programs are you running on it? What modifications do you recommend?

I just bought an ASUS EEE 900 laptop from buy.com for $360, and with tax it was $386. Shippping was free. Anyway, it was bnd convenint to use. It came with XP home, has 1 gig of ram, and 16 gigs of hard drive space. It runs Jaws smoothly, and I love it so far. The yeys are small, but I'm already used to it, and I have some fine-motor issues when having to deal with small keys, and these are fine to work with. It has an 8-inch screen, and weighs about 2 or 3 pounds. I definitely recommend it for the casual laptop user who wants something small, portable and easy-to use for school or leisure. My husband is a serious computer user, and he said that when his 3-year-old laptop finally croaks, he's getting an ASUS EEE 900.y far the cheapest new laptop I've seen, and it's small, light
Sorry for the errors... Ignore that last part.
i've looked at these machines, and like them. i have heard they can be used with xp, but have only seen vista orlinix on them. great to hear you can get xp home.
