Good things come in small packages

grammarwomanHoly frelling crap. I thought the tracking information saying it arrived in town this morning must have been a mistake (I just ordered the thing on Tuesday!), but sure enough, my Eee showed up today. I was worried that UPS would try to deliver during the day and leave me a "Come get it yourself" note. When I found neither note nor package on my porch, I resigned myself to waiting until tomorrow for it. But no! The doorbell rang during dinner prep, and there it was! (The Emperor loudly announced his name to the delivery guy, and asked for his in return. Thanks for humoring my son, Bruce!)
I quickly decanted it from the box and marveled at its teeny stature. Like, smaller than a hardcover teeny. The husband pointed out that I needed to wait for it to come to room temperature before inserting the battery and hooking it all up. I pouted a bit, but he did have a point.
So after the waiting (and incidentally dinner and bedtime), I finally got to play. The Windows XP walkthrough took a bit, and I had to ponder a while before I thought up a name.
Everyone, say hello to Minutiae!
One minor quibble so far: the Amazon description claimed that it had Firefox already loaded. Nope. But that was easily amended. I'm also worried that I'm going to wear out the action on the click bar - it seems a little stiff. Other than that, I think I'll get along fine with the keyboard.

resolute and any other Eee users out there - got any tips/advice/software suggestions?

Re: asus click bar
Date: 2008-12-11 03:43 pm (UTC)I'm amazed at all the touchpad shortcuts I've been able to find so far - my favorite is the two-finger tap on a link to bring it up in a new FF tab. Is there a finger combo for bringing up the right-click menu?
