Eee PC

My Newest Toy, originally uploaded by Denni Schnapp.

I found this photo on flickr and just had to post it. I am very pleased with my little white one, but I have to say the blue Eee PC looks lovely. Even Stephen Fry is talking about it. Now I know Mr Fry is a bit of a collector so I am sure he will try and get every colour. I have even bought a Linux magazine and had a go at changing skype settings through the command window.
