eeePC

[Andrew G]

Hi there.

I have a close friend thinking about getting one. She is concerned
that the screen resolution will be too low (like 640x800). She likes
to view heaps of items simultaneously on her desktop... what is the
resolution like on the eeePC? I haven't seen one yet... may get into
Good Guys today.. I guess I'm wondering what it is like to work on a
PC with a small screen? Especially for things like typing up
assignments..

thanks,
Andrew
