“to me the Asus Eee is only comparable with one of those toys from the One Laptop for Child campaign.”

What a stupid comment. I love my Eee PC and I’ve personally turned half a dozen people on to buying one because it’s so useful! My mother carries one instead of a Palm Pilot or WM Organizer because of the full keyboard, and the ability to run full versions of common programs……not “Pocket” versions. It makes an incredible little computer to tote around in server rooms when you need to Telnet or Remote Desktop into a Router or Server.

“If you are looking a cheap laptop capable of doing all that your teenager child wants to do, do not waste your money and time”

You’re right, because the teenager mentality is MORE MORE MORE and they want instant results. The Eee is designed for people who understand technology and can look beyond the specs to find a genuine use for it. They don’t expect it to do more than it’s capable of.
