Yesterday I came home from work with the best pretty-much-the-last-Friday-of-the-summer-gift ever. A case of Newkie Brown for the boy-bot. But he did one better! When I was changing into even more casual than casual Friday clothes I noticed this! on my dresser: an unopened box of eee-box!

I gotted a present!!!

But boy-bot loves the eee-box too. He’s setting it up for me right now. By setting up, I mean that he’s installing a bunch of programs on it. I might have to indian give the computer back to him, OR just get a second one (maybe the dual-core that’s coming out this fall, rumoratively speaking). The plan is for the eee-box to be my computer AND a multimedia center that we can leave on all the time, you know, to watch Colbert and movies and the Daily Show, oh my! on the PS3 and stuff. (We don’t go out much.) I’m just not sure how good we are at sharing.

If you’re looking for an amateur review of the eee-box, go no further. It is awesome. I mean, I’ve only used it for one evening. It’s about the size of an elemetary school text book, about the same weight. You can turn it on and be on the internet in under 30 seconds, and yah, the mouse that comes with it (if you even get the keyboard and mouse package) is a bit small. Other than that, it rocks even more than my eee-pc (which I’m using right now).

Seriously, between the Asus eee-pc, eee-box, and whatever older laptop boy-bot has, I can safely say that Dell will never see my business again…. Now that I’ve received the last adapter I will ever buy from them, I’m tempted to tell Dell how I really feel.
