_My_ shiny thing
« on: 17 May, 2008, 02:18:16 pm »
I was the recipient of small package in the post this morning - a new Asus EeePC 900  :)


I appear to have lost it to Clare (who has just arrived back from the hairdresser sporting rather RED hair).

Why is she messing around on the PC when there is a bike needing building behind her?

A visit from Mr. Hacksaw will make it fit in the wheelie bin, surely.  Reuse that pannier rack though.
Shoes off the white sofa, please.

Yebbut, the rack's a bit Banananananana-shaped:


It's got a Clio sized dent in it.

aaaaahhhh,
a woman chemist called Clare, with red hair, a bike frame in the background.... (you copycat!)
all I need to complete this scene is the eeePC, and I'm trying very hard to resist.


Forget the white sofas though - we've got 2 black cats for chris'sakes!  ;D

You're safe, I haven't chemisted for years, an attempt at a PhD with two dinosaurs for supervisors did for that.

As for the sofa, we're renting furnished, it isn't ours (thankfully).

It seems appropriate that I'm sitting here reading this thread on my EeePC ! ...and probably not the only one, given the previous "I want an EeePC" threads at another place. ;D

Thanks  ;D
My hairdresser was very apprehensive about the colour and kept saying "It's going to be really *red* you know." while she was applying the dye; but when she saw the results and my huge grin she calmed down.

I don't have a problem with it, and my fingers aren't particularly small.  On the other hand, I've spent the last 30+ years typing on a variety of 'orrible keyboards, starting with things like a CBM PET 2001 and Acorn System 1, neither of which are particularly noted for their impressive keyboards!

In its defence, the keyboard is not too difficult to use, but you don't win any prizes for speed. I'll probably improve with practise.

Nor me.

I have big banana fingers and it works for me.  I'm using it now in fact.
