I have an Asus EEE 701a computer. I bought it when I first heard that Asus was selling them. I still have it and will for a long time. I even bought a small netbook case for it too. It fits perfectly. I try installing different operating systems on it. It now has 1 gig of ram and a 32 gig SSD. I will wish it 'Happy Birthday'.

That's why I said the Eee PC was the first consumer oriented netbook. The XO
was definitely the inspiration, but the Eee PC was the first device of its
kind that you could walk into a store and buy.

But the history of the netbook should start with the XO PC, no?

Happy 2nd birthday, Eee. It's amazing what a trend this little device started. Also, it even held Laney's attention for quite a while after she determined there was no tuna, Tender Vittles, or Little Sheba involved
