An ugly laptop. Same as one of those one laptop per child deals, just a little uglier. As for "huge" I think you are seriously overestimating the potential of the school market. The schoolhouse computers have no connection to the adult purchases, and colleges are all on Gmail/Apple/Edu. -Vlad It’s not really a hit, it’s just what it is. An ugly laptop.

Yeah, they are a tad slow, but the majority of schools in the US will have these solid state "NetBooks" in the hands of kids in less than a year. Then none of us will be able to "phantom" the amount of $$ ASUS and others are raking in. My ugly bastard comes in very handy when writing comments on Vlad's site. I love the UNICEF hit.

Richard, It's just a personal preference, I find the Eee's profoundly ugly and slow. But that's just me. All of these PCs look like the UNICEF rejects that even African kids without milk would send back. -Vlad David,

You’re going to have to quit your full time job if you intend to make spelling corrections on Vladville.

Richard,

It’s just a personal preference, I find the Eee’s profoundly ugly and slow.

But that’s just me. All of these PCs look like the UNICEF rejects that even African kids without milk would send back.

To balance the scales though, my main laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1720 which weighs as much as a pregnant Elephant and is as large as Vlad's mouth after his Tooth Surgery.

" "phantom" - Do you mean fathom? “I have previously mentioned that I cannot phantom possible… ”

“phantom” – Do you mean fathom?
