It's suitable for surfing the web, email and reading documents and taking notes. It's small and light so it's perfect to carry around, you don't have to think "do I really need a computer with me today" - you can just bring it. The size is pretty much like a VHS cassette(if anyone remember those). For programming on the road, for me a ~13" laptop is ideal. Small enough, light enough, have full size keyboards, usually good screens. A lot more expensive though. The Eee is great, but for a developer it's not to use as main computer.

According to <a href="http://allaboutfrogs.org/weird/general/frogtoad.html" rel="nofollow">this</a> a toad is a frog. True or not it's a good reference so I don't have to change the header ;-) Glad you like it. I have him on my desktop now, that expression makes me smile every time I log on. I had no idea!

Everyone since then has tried to convince me that their code is transparent and its so clear and elegant it doesn't need documentation.... NOT!

That post included! Even if I don't agree. I was just a little surprised. My post happened to be more about your post than about AllTop, that's just how it came out not thinking too much. My thoughts on AllTop are that I'm pretty sure it's just a strategic investment. Easy to make, easy to make money from in the future. For an experienced internet user it's bs but I can image some people actually thinks it's useful, not knowing better. I had seen it before when it was written about on Techcrunch and couldn't almost believe it got attention. But that's how it is when someone "famous" starts a new project. Don't let my post stop you from writing what you think. Keep up the good work and good luck with the exams! Paul, I love your blog and what you write. That post included! Even if I don’t agree.

This week before spring break is filled with crazy papers and exams. But yeah, I've noticed people like my editorial/opinion posts more than my take on tech news, so I've gravitated towards that stuff a bit more.
