Hey Howard, haven’t been to your site in awhile and just caught your eeePC review. I’m typing this on my eeePC 1000h that I bought a couple months ago. LOVE IT. It’s been a few years since I last had a laptop and wow am I impressed with my eee. I chose mine for all the reasons you stated. Who wants a really powerful laptop that is really big. In the business world I see most laptop users just using their computer to get/send e-mail and run basic business software. No need for anything more than the 1000h. And who needs to lug around a laptop with an optical drive. I just use the built in cd/dvd drive from my desktop through the network when I need to download a cd-rom. I have to say the one thing that drove me crazy was the right shift key as you also stated. I took care of that by downloading AutoHotkey. It loads at start-up and redefines the UpArrow key to be a Shift key. To use UpArrow I defined the key as Alt+UpArrow. It is such a small easy program to use and you will gain so much more happiness. Just put it in your Startup folder and forget about it. I spent several months looking over all of the netbook competition when the Intel Atom came out. It is a GREAT processor and at this point I think the eeePC 1000h has all of the competition beat but I’ve heard that more of the major manufacturers are working on their own netbook versions. I’m sure there will be better ones in the future but for now the 1000h works for me.
