I'm writing this on my brand new pearl white Asus eee PC. I got the smallest and cheapest possible model (701) to check this kind of platform out. I just got it yesterday but as of now I'm pretty satisfied. Currently it runs linux but I plan to install XP on it so I have already upgraded the memory in it The idea is to get hUb and some of our pc games like twtpb up and running on it.

The only drawback with the hardware itself is the mouse pad buttons. They're really hard and numb to press.

Meanwhile Barak Obama is being installed

I have realized that I need to play more games. Also I don't have the time to really sit down and play so I got thinking that maybe a portable gaming device would be cool. Then I can utilize many smaller snippets of time instead of devoting long hours.

The last time I owned a portable was my old Game & Watch Donkey Kong JR. That was a great game and the only portable I have ever owned. Even my mum considered herself a gamer in those days. My sister and she even started playing the game upside down to get more of a challenge. Alas my hot tempered sister threw the game in the wall in frustration , and that was it for the poor fellow...

Anyway I have not paid any attention to the portable scene in a few years but I guess it it pretty much down to getting a Nintendo DS or a Sony PSP. Price is about the same, the PSP is more techy but the DS has the touch screen advantage and is compatible with Gameboy Advance games.

Right now I'm leaning towards the DS... but I really don't know. If you got any experiences or suggestions I'd really like to know...
