Hardware, Embedded Systems "One of the biggest news stories out of this year's Computex wasn't of a new chipset, GPU, or graphics card, but rather of the announcement of the ASUS Eee PC, a small, slim, and light portable computer that is priced at USD 199. Introduced by Jonney Shih, Chariman and CEO of ASUS at Intel's keynote address the first day of the show, the Eee PC has already made headlines world wide. Not only have we had the chance to actually use the ASUS Eee PC, we can also confirm some important new specifications of the notebook."

i'd be interested in buying one if it weren't for that ugly windows key on the keyboard. i know that may sound trite... but seriously, i'm sick of seeing it...

but anyway, besides the lack of adequate storage space, this looks like a pretty cool little machine. considering it's often still pricier to buy a similarly specced used portable on ebay, it's a pretty sweet deal.

You're right: your post sounds stupid.
It's just another shortcut keys, which is useful, who cares how it looks!

well, now you're just name calling. if my post 'sounds stupid' yours just sounds mean.

actually, *lots* of people care. don't you find it the least bit disturbing that a corporation has become so pervasive that wholly unrelated companies feel forced to put that stupid logo on every product?

i'm not saying that an additional modifier key is stupid. i'm saying that it shouldn't have anything to do with a company i don't have anything to do with.

did you know that there is actually a license crafted specifically because of that stupid key? it's a bit ridiculous.

anyway, this is hardly the forum for this discussion. i was just making a joke and complimenting a product.
