I'm beginning to appreciate my decision on passing up on the Eee -- thanks to Frethop's Netbook!

As a writing machine, this turns out to be a great acquisition, best of 5mx and Eee, I'd say. Obviously, the Netbook is not fit to run any reasonably modern software (foregoing for the moment that I could install Linux on it), but the OS and UI are so perfectly taylored to the hardware it's really a joy to work on (note: not "with"; on the Netbook I tend to forget the machine is there).

Oh, how I wish Nokia had hired all the Psion/EPOC designers...
