My pink S101 is here! And it’s the perfect shade of pink – silvery and very slightly sparkly in sunlight. It got here all the way from Taiwan in just six days. I’m very pleased with it so far; it was packed very carefully so it’s in perfect shape, and everything’s working fine right out [...]

May 6, 2008

My new Eee PC 900 arrived yesterday from Hong Kong, via eBay. It has an American English keyboard and 5800 mAH battery, as promised, and so far all the software and documentation is in English.
