Turn on and leave on your bluethooth and buy a 100m bluetooth dongle for your eee!!! I used it to locate my girlfriends phone at her college.
She called me @ 5:40 pm well after everyone had left college saying she could not find her phone. I went to her’s looked there in her car using the eee constanly scanning on blue tooth for her phone….
We went for a drive back to her college and for some reason the main doors were still open. We went inside and walked towards the last place she had it whilst i was still scaning on my eee. We got the the room it was in darkness and locked and my eee had put its self to sleep…. we turned around and someone was walking towards us… looked like a care taker so whe asked him if we could have alook in the room to see if it was in there… i woke up my eee and he let us in.. hit scan and glanced away for a second to look to see if her phone was on the floor…. it wasnt that i could see then i glanced down at the eee and here phone bluetooth name was on the screen next to mine! She ran over to a chair with an A3 piece of paper on it, lifted the paper and there was her phone!
Moral of this storey…. attach your phone to you! Never forget the feeling of loosing it and you will take more care of it…. BUY a bluetooth dongle for your eee!!!
This is the one i have… works best with XP… plug it in XP picks it up and off you go… no drivers or software needed you can just use built in XP software.
Looks like new version is coming v soon! with 12gb SSD and a lovely 8.9″ TFT display (1024×600 ) !
The EEEPC 900 will also feature 1gb of ram to help with XP. There is also an larger touch pad!
This model should be launched mid 2008.

Well i have had my eee pc now for 2 weeks….i can’t be without it!
Last friday we were flashing firmware on switches where i work and even though we didnt use it to do this (we used a work laptop) it would have been ideal! You could just carry it up to the Cabinet where the switch it and work right there…. Yes most switches are software / web managed but sometimes (in our case because we have stacked netgear gig switches in our cabs we have to goto the cab physicaly!
Anyway my point is that i think every techi should have access to one of these because im sure there is atleast one thing in the eee pc’s neat little bundle that somone could find of use!
I love mine and my advice to anyone who is / has been thinking about getting one… PART WITH YOUR CASH !!! Its worth it (Provided you are preapaired to put xp on…) The eee xandros distro is nice, very tidy and VERY user friendly! But I need xp for what i do with work and with streaming video + audio stuff i use at home! Honestly for the little money it is its worth every penny!
YAY… i finaly received my Asus eeepc 701 4gb! I will be doing a full “howto” on setting up and also one for installing windows! check back soon!
I have a dream….And its to own one of these little beauties!!! But i can’t find anyone anywhere in the UK that has stock… Any suggestions?
