So tempting, 1000HE preorder.

Postby Jason on Mon Feb 02, 2009 7:58 pm

Preorder from Amazon for $375 with free shipping!

Man, for 375 I'm tempted to just pick one up for the fun of it. First thing I would do is upgrade the memory and switch the HD to a SSD. Blah, hopefully I'll stay sane and not order it...

This new netbook from Asus looks really sleek. I can imagine it being very popular with business users. Just look at that smart keyboard - gasp.

egk has symbolically spoken (don't know if i spelled the big word correctly, who cares?)

Nike= do it.

Did it. After purchasing HA and DA Toshiba screen died and donating my new HA to her survival in sales in this current environment. has yet to pick up. don't mind holding on to this a couple more days. have a boat load of tax stuff to do.

how could I not do the HE; years ago I would order an HP 100lx which screened a lotus 123 spreadsheet and thought I was heaven bound because a "portable device" weighed a ton.

know i am randomly rambling, but for dude my age, 63, it definitely gets the brain cells down on the floor and gets me 5 or 10 good fingertip pushups with the cells remaining; hey maybe i can retard the calcification going on up there now. anyhow

amazon; 374.99 (evidently the asus 25.00 coupon must be automatically built in to everyone's purchase price) the coupon and you were announced to me after i tracked to a facebook group. the facebook hyperlink essentially said scram, unless you join; ok, i joined. strange feeling meeting up with so many kids now mid 20 somethings from swimming years. both my daughters swam for uss teams, one alson in hs and both in college. man did i go to a boat load of swim meets; jr nats, sr nats. ok i'll stop.
all the down time was never a bore because i had some kind of a device. when they swam i devised. i did cpa work, i also did a master's degree in taxation. ok i lied. ididn't stop. anyway, any ideas how i can use bluetooth feature on the HE. my imagination is limited here? and I need some of you younger visionaries to help me out.
thanks. apih

Wow, that's a ton of information! So long story short, you ordered it and you are awesome.

will do. deliver the HA to my daughter tonight. hope she is not wearing socks because they will be gone by the time the blue light comes on. yes, I will definitely keep you posted.
ps. put the HA in its foam pouch as shipped. guy who rides in turned it on during our 40mile drive into Boston. managed to pick up a few moderate hot spots. couldn't believe what he saw. then did a little show and tell with a few of my IT guys. had to shoo them out of the office. one came back to pick up the info to order today so he can take delivery when he ships over to CA this weekend. I'm not getting any commission for this but when good is good, why wouldn't you want to play a little show and tell.

so far i haven't really figured out a simple way to open up the web cam staring at me. what obvious thing am i missing? thanks guys, as always.

Do you have an Ecap.exe icon (looks like a camera) on the desktop? Typically that is the video capturing utility that Asus includes with their Eee PCs.
