Somebody brought an Asus EeePC to the November SVLUG installfest. My
impression: The screen alone makes it not worth getting, even though it is
the same size as the XO screen, which is far superior. There will
eventually be an EeePC with a slightly larger screen, which may be well
worth the wait -- or not. Only time will tell.
