Go Go Gadget Laptop!

Hi! This is Cari, Reference Librarian and Technology Team member. I'm typing this post on an ASUS Eee PC, a tiny laptop that runs on Linux. It's a very cool, sleek-looking gadget, which includes a camera, Skype, and Web access. It doesn't carry enough memory to run higher-level apps like a "normal" laptop would, and it has a miniature screen and a teeny keyboard. I'm definitely having trouble typing because the keys are so small--and a man with larger hands would probably have more trouble. My neck also kinda hurts from slouching and bending over. So this gadget may not be the best thing if you need something with full function, but it's a neat little tool to carry around in your purse or bag for quick connectivity.
