I'll probably keep the Xandros interface myself, because I'm moving from a Mac OS and from the screen shots it seems pretty similar. I also bought an eMachine about 8-9 years ago and it had OpenOffice, so I'm familiar with that software too. <BR/><BR/>I've had several PDAs and a laptop, and I got the EEE because I miss being able to walk to any of the 10 nearest coffee shops and work on my novels. See, my iBook kind of fell off my bed and the hinge cracked, so to get the screen to work, it needs to be duct taped to a wall. No, I'm not kidding. <BR/><BR/>But hey, if you don't like it, your brother will swap you for his laptop?

You're in a great position to be able to play with your new toy/tool and get the most out of it. If it doesn't work for you, just install XP or trade out - it's win-win!<BR/><BR/>Congrats on the great deal!Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10252164976195497250noreply@blogger.com
