Eeek! A tiny travel computer!

The oddly named Eee PC, an ultra-tiny, inexpensive notebook computer, may be the light traveler’s dream companion. It will weigh under two pounds and will cost between $199 and $349. The first version is supposed to have a seven-inch screen with a nine-inch version possibly to follow. This simple Linux-based machine has wi-fi capability and a built-in webcam. Information and a definite release date for this mini notebook are hard to come by. We’ll keep our eyes open for more. I’d hate to travel with a notebook weighing more than five pounds. Two pounds is very attractive.
