I know of a few school districts, especially in Northern Ontario, where all students have laptops. And they're MacBooks. And it's not just a pilot project, they've been doing this for years. Anyways, we tried out the Eee PC here and found pretty much the same things as you did... Very small and totally not as functional as our 17" MacBooks but super sweet when heading somewhere where you don't want to carry around a massive laptop. Glad you enjoy your free laptop!! Cheers!
