Asus – a couple of months of ownership
I’ve had the Eee PC (701) now for a few months and have been using it as my primary machine whilst away and my secondary machine at home. I must admit I’ve had a few issues with it. I’ve had to return it to factory defaults (keep hitting F9 at start up) about 5 times, … Continue reading

Keeping an eye on us
As we get nearer to the off more people have been asking us how they can keep up to date with what we’re doing. Obviously the simplest way is to come here or subscribe to the RSS feed – or perhaps even subscribe to the videos – but as we’re out on the road we’ll … Continue reading
