,----[ Quote ]
| For her birthday, I bought Leslee a Asus Eee (pronounced E). I've had my eye
| out for an ultraportable laptop for her for a while. So far, I'd only found
| very expensive ultraportables. When this came out, and was available in the
| $350-400 range, I jumped at it. For some, the fact that it runs Linux might
| be a deterrent, but definitely not for me.

| Leslee tells me every day how much she loves it. I bought it for her, so
| that's what matters. The fact that it exposes her to Linux and open source
| software is a nice bonus.

| can just load the software for them -- or even install a Linux distro like
| Ubuntu or Fedora that comes bundled with lots of basic applications most
| people will find helpful. Installing Linux is so easy these days, almost
