| It's been two weeks since the adapter arrived. I haven't done much with 
| customization since then, being content to read Ebooks, surf the Web, and 
| play the occasional DOSbox game. Eventually, I hope to edit the tabbed 
| interface to include new icons for some of the programs I'm now invoking in a 
| terminal. It's amazing how many programs, included in the Eee's base Linux 
| install, are inaccessible via the default Easy Mode interface. And of course 
| there have been some programs I've downloaded as well.

| I like the Eee. I'm using it a lot more than I thought I would when I bought 
| it. It works as a real laptop, not just as a toy.
