Fighting the Eee PC Cravings
So Droid totally bought an Eee PC. I’ve been wanting one of these for awhile, and I played with his for a few minutes, and now I want one all the more. The thing could probably fit in most of my big pockets, it’s so small. The screen was a bit small, but everything was very clear and visible… he was running XP on it and it was working flawlessly… oh man. I do want one.
Problems with me getting one: It costs money that I would have to pay, I don’t have a USB CD or DVD drive so I couldn’t install any other OS on it myself, if I wanted to install Windows on it I don’t have any sort of “key” with which to do that. I went and looked for how cheap OEM copies of XP are… good lord, they’re expensive. Fuck you, Microsoft, seriously. I’d buy a legal copy if it wasn’t 150 bucks. For 20 bucks more I get another Rock Band bundle.
Anyway, I was this close to buying one yesterday, and resisted… I can keep resisting, I’m sure, but man, I want one…
Oh, while researching it, I also found this. It can apparently like… streamline and shave down your Windows installation and stuff. That would be useful for installing Windows on that little lappy with the 4 Gig SSHD.
Oh man, I dunno. I’ll keep resisting for now…
