Once again the point of these tiny portable PC’s just wizzed right over his head again.

The point was hardly lost on me. You are clearly just upset because I regard most of the people drooling over the Eee PC as being the same sort of useful idiots that I see driving huge SUVs through stop-and-go traffic everyday to work. Yes, it’s more portable. A Nokia N810, if you throw in a collapsable bluetooth keyboard is probably even more so.

I have a 12″ portable and I hate to carry that big, heavy thing through airports and on trips. If you want big, fine, but these small PC’s fit my needs and apparently a lot of other peoples needs.

You can’t seriously expect anyone to believe that a 12″ laptop is heavy. A new MacBook Pro weighs 5.5lb, and the smaller ones 5lb. I guess it’s that 3lb. Must make a world of difference…
