I’m buying an Asus eee PC netbook.  This will be the proverbial methadone to help me detox from my IPhone addiction – it’s just as useful but slightly less convenient to have in the palm of my hand at all times. 

It will be here tomorrow.  Instant gratification.  Push the bar and a pellet comes out.  I Love the internet, even if it is a disgusting place at times!

The particular model I’m getting is the 1005.  Quick stats of the 1005:

• 10 inch glossy screen, 1024 X 600
• XP OS
• 2GB ram
• 1.66 ghz Intel Atom
• 160 gig hard drive
• Wireless b/g/n & Bluetooth
• 1.3 MP web cam
• Weight is around TWO pounds
• Battery life is rated at 10.5 hours (yes, ten and a half hours)

Cost: less than $400 !!
