update

I got an EEE PC recently. It's what I've been looking for for a while now; a very portable and affordable computer with a keyboard. PDAs are too small to do any actual work on, regular laptops are too large and heavy to carry around and the ultraportable laptops have all been too expensive. It's nice because I can carry it on the subway and watch movies and read webpages. It's small and light enough that it's not too bad to hold it while standing up if I'm unable to get a seat.

This morning I was even able to get the Flex SDK running on it. The computer comes with Linux rather than Windows which is part of the reason it's pretty cheap, but it also ended up being kind of a pain to get Flex working. So I'm pretty happy now that I can do some development while I'm on the train.
