Today I had, some time to to certain amount of nerding, and behold – going though the old storage and I found the “good old EEE PC” – the one and first Net book that ever hit the shelves.
Brought to my “in Sweden” by my good old friend (boman) it’s the deification of a gadget, something you bought – version 0.9 – not really production ready and not really useful, but surely something to behold and something to explore in time to come. I do not have to give praises to the concept of net books – owning an Acer Aspire one 250 (absolutely one of the best laptops ever made) I have embraced and enjoyed the best of these days. But the Asus EEE PC – was just about to slow and to early in the computing cycles, to be used for something important. I have been thinking about – what would I ever use this small ‘book for – if anything and behold, the Android project:; http://www.android-x86.org/ gave me the inspiration of placing Android on the slim and ”let’s just be frank, under powered net book” – and with the inspiration of this site – and the Unetbooting software, I was able to replace the built in Linux kernel to something that really looks like something inspirational – a Functional 7 Inch Net Book, running Android..
I am really excited, and really ready to explore – something tells me that I have to revaluate what processing power really means, when so much good stuff can come out of such a small ‘book.
