Ok, this email comes to you from from Gmail my girlfriends eee PC
which arrived via City Link this morning. First impressions - it's
gorgeous.
- Keyboard keys are tiny, almost impossible for me to use to type and
I'm not Pat Jennings...
- Screen is small which severely restricts how much screen space is
available for your apps. I spend most of my browsing life in Google
Reader and I can only see 5 feeds in the left hand pane.
- It comes locked down in "Easy Mode" so kiddies can't install apps
etc. For the initiated, you can dive into a terminal window, login as
root and fix this so that you get "Full Desktop" mode on reboot. This
looks more Windows-like if that is what you want.
More to come but girlfriend and step-daughter are demanding it back.
Mike
