I can haz a computer.

[gridlore]

Specifically, an Eee PC 4GB 701. Mine is black, natch.

This is the first computer that is mine as opposed to one I've shared with someone. Not a power machine, true, but it does what I need it to do: web and mail, what little office stuff I do, and play Nethack. I can even plug in my iShuffle and listen to my music.

After watching me stroke the computer in a disturbing manner in the car, we decided on the new little box's name. At first it was going to be MiniPC (I do a dead-on MiniMe "eeeee") but then we thought of a better one. The box is Mr. Bigglesworth.

Cool! The Eee is a great little machine; I nearly got one myself. Just the right size and weight for travel, and nearly indestructable.

w00tles and such.

I've been coveting one of those, but unfortunately I need it to run either OS X or Windows -- or at least an emulator that will let me run EasyGrade (http://www.orbissoft.com/ (http://www.orbissoft.com/)), which is only available for those two operating systems. (Three, if you count the Pocket PC operating system.)
