The EEE arrived

Sorry, too busy using my brand new german eee to blog about it!

There is no "warranty void sticker on the bottom", but one of the screws for the RAM is covered with a small "EEEpc" sticker.

Sound is relatively ok considering what they could have put in the small place.
I just noticed that my space bar is unequally high. OH my, how will I survive that!

Default Skype is 1.4 without video support, it is possible to install from the skype page, but apparently there is an official version in the repository from Xandros.

mplayer is installed by default. the ever important middle mouse button is emulated by pressing both the left and right side of the single button. page up and page down work via fn-up and fn-down.

Nice detail is that the place of the "windows logo key" is filled with a nice neutral "home" key. The German keyboard is not good for people that like to write html, the open and close brackets have to be written via fn-Y and shift-fn-Y.
