Pidgin is ok, I use it whenever I run Ubuntu on my other PC. Sometimes I prefer it to the flashiness of YM and MSN. Tabbed windows! Hehe. Besides, you can use your YM and Windows IDs in Pidgin, so it’s sometimes much better than the programs themselves.

Not a fan of KDE. I actually hated KDE when I first saw it. All those Ks… Zzzz… I prefer Beryl. Not sure if Xandros will support it, though.

There’s a Kopiroti in Makati???? Oh where oh where??? I want their coffee buns!!!

I haven’t tried using IM on it, just usual web browing and blogging. It has Pidgin and I know of people using Skype on it. No YM or Windows messenger though. You need windows for that.

I’ll write about the softwares or at least the ones I really use.

I’m thinking of changing the cutesy tab interface of the Xandros into the Advanced Mode of KDE. The only thing that’s holding me back is that the cute interface is really very easy to use. With it I can launch a program in about 3 seconds.

: )

By the way, I saw Andrea at Kopiroti Ayala Ave. (or was it Makati Ave?) last night. I was buying a box of coffee buns (which Nhil and I love) when somebody shouted, ‘Papa Ces!’ And there she was, eating and drinking coffee with her boyfriend.

…or that might have been the other small pc I was talking about.

So, the Celeron’s not too slow? Can you run the usual IM programs on it, etc? You’ve done the looks and functionality review, now do the software and programs review! Hehe. It’s very interesting–you’re the only person I know with an EEE.

You should bring that when we meet up! Bug Fhebie!

Here’s the spec. I just copied it from a computer shop’s site:

Intel® Celeron® M CPU
512Mb DDR2 667MHz
4.0Gb Solid State Device
7in. WVGA / Wi-Fi / LAN
with camera
3 usb ports
SD SLOT / Pouch / high Cell Batt.
Linux XANDROS / Open Office

I’ve seen the FINK one and I have to admit it’s pretty but never would I consider buying it for myself. Hahaha…

Mine’s black. I prefer the white but black’s a safe color of choice.

I always bring it in the office. It’s always inside my NorthFace backpack whenever I go out. It’s really cool.
If you get an extra cash, go get one.

: )

What are the specs? You can always get a notebook cooler for it, if you think it heats up too fast. Do you bring it to the office?

Inggit ako! Haha.
