Should you buy an Asus Eee 901 PC?
Due any day now is the Asus Eee 901, the successor to the subnotebook
that did the most to kick off the cheap, yet fully useable, portable

Australia, is it worth taking the Eee plunge, or waiting a bit longer
for more choice?

The promise of two screens for less than half price
One would think that the troubled One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) organization would have pulled back from making outlandish claims after failing by a long shot to deliver the fabled $100 laptop to the underprivileged children of the third world. Obviously, the rule at OLPC is when at first you don't succeed set an even more outlandish target - $75 for a dual screen laptop.
