The best of times, the worst of times

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way... Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

Extra, extra, EEEPC - Read all about it!

Intel and Asus announced the EasyPC (or the EEEPC as it is being called) at Computex. With a dollar price tag of $199 and $299, it comes loaded with Linux but bundled with XP drivers as well.

What do the 3 Es stand for?

Easy to learn
Easy to play
Easy to work

Aimed at a completely different market segment - worldwide and specifically at senior citizens and families with young children, the EEEPC is a product worth watching.

You can also read about it at the Chinese Engadget and Digit-Life.
