Price and size are really also another issue. Old laptops fail (normally) both of these. Anyone know of a brick and mortar store that stocks EEE Pc? I suspect it would be best to actually open a text editor on one of these. $300 is a fair price, but eyesight is important.

I just came back from Microcenter over in Overland Park (Thanks to Leo for the wireless card info!), I knew they carried them, but they FINALLY had one on display. It actually looked pretty clear and good, I am just not sure how I would deal with the keyboard as I have a mangled finger from a few years ago. (something that small would be the biblical typing method.........Seek and Yee shall find)

Finally! I've been in and out of there several times since the Eee PC was released and it was never on display. It's been in their circular for a couple months, so it was fairly likely that it would end up on display. There is a somewhat closely priced Acer that I think they have been keeping off the display shelves too. I think they are trying not to eat sales of the high priced stuff.
