After spending most of the day buying and installing lagging for my and H’s outside pipes and fixing her leak(in freezing cold wweather), I finally settled down to some quality time- not with my family but with my new toy (now where s that right shift key?) Asus. Thanks to some detailed instructions (this keyboard is so small!) at http://wiki.eeeuser.com/howto:beginners_guide I now have a proper Linux desktop instead of the kiddies’ big buttons. The same site also taught me a bit about using this with wireless networks. It works fine where i am now on an unencrypted network but still doesn’t like mine even though the password is now 13 characters long (I had no idea about that requirement for non-Macs). I am starting to warm to this little machine. For some people the first thing they did on receiving their little Asuses was to dismantlle it to see how it is put together then solder extra things into it. My son’s approach to ladybirds was a little like that as a two year old.
