New toys

So we are off on our bi-annual overseas holiday. Normally I would take a work laptop, but its a big dell D series and I really can't be arse carting throuout Europe. I am also worried about getting it lost or stollen.

I have an older Dell that I considered taking, but its still a 15" bemoth.

So I thought I'd try something different and went out and bought a 9" Acer EEE. Its rare that I get excited about a piece of technology for more than a little while anymore. This laptop has had me excited for over a week, and I just love it more each time I use it.

Its the size of a sheet of A5 paper and abbout 50mm thick. The keyboards a bit small, but its great for lying in bed blogging (no I'm not right now...)

Ahh, tecnology to improve our lifes - isn't that what it's all about ??

Even the wife loves it. Might need to get another one just for her..
