I got the EEE 901. Upgraded it to a 2gig ram memory stick, removed the slow 8gb secondard ssd and replaced it with an uber fast 32gb ssd. chucked an sdhc class 6, 16gb SD card in the card reader. Wireless bluetooth mouse, wireless bluetooth via my sony ericsson k850i to the net, usb DVT-B decoder... bloody love it

am running fedora linux on the 4gb ssd, windows xp home on the 32gb ssd and i have the 16gb card for media storage... 48 gigs of media avail to windows

not bad considering its got no moving parts. being turned on in a skyline aint gonna kill it heh

the only thing I wish I had was a touchscreen. would be uber. you can get kits but im not quite prepared to disassemble the eee...

little computers rule

this is the 10.1 inch aspire one there is a 8.9 inch version but after looking at other 8.9 inch net books they are too small for me (as it is it's taking ages to type even with this one cos of my fat fingers).

This is the D250 version which i have had the RAM upgraded to 2Gb, it has a 160Gb hard drive and a 1.6GHz processor. all the small net books run the same intel N270 processor, the reason in when for the D250 over the D150 is most of the specs are higher, the RAM is upgradable (standard they came with 1Gb) and they have bluetooth standard as well and it's <$100 between the two anyway. i paid $668 with a LITEON duel layer external DVD burner included.

i will get a 16Gb SD card for it and put all most of my stuff on that, that'll be next week though asi ahve just bought a 9 cell battery for it because the standard 3 cell one is lucky to last 3 hours.

I wanted something small for uni as well as Data logging at the track and eventually i'll run some lipstick cameras to it as well.

man... i hate when books i enjoy (and books that have good potential for the big screen) always turn into garbage movies.

sure, as a rule, movies are never as good, someone elses interpretation of the story is never as good as youre own.

but deleting entire characters and subplots then turning the finale completely on its head... whats with that?

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
