I am about to head off on my first trip to the Northern Territory. I can’t believe I have never been there before. I am armed with my eee PC and iphone so I will attempt to blog about my travels on the way.

I’ll be posting photos directly from my iPhone to my travel map. Fingers crossed I’ve set everything up correctly!

Windows XP Eee PC being sold off for $299.  My mum was complaining that on her recent trip to Europe, there was Wi-Fi everywhere but she had no laptop to connect.  I had originally thought about a more “traditional” laptop around the $1,000 mark, but changed my mind when I read more about the Eee PC.

First impressions – I love it!  It is so cute and tiny, and fits in the palm of my hand (kind of like a kitten)!   See the size comparison below with the other Dell notebooks and Mac Book in my house:

My first task is to remove unwanted software (The Eee PC comes with Microsoft Works and a bunch of other windows apps) and install software to make this the perfect travelling companion for my Mum: Skype; Anti Virus, Microsoft Word & Excel, Picasa and probably a few more.

Then I need to set it up on my Mum’s Wi-Fi network and ensure it works with the printer.

I’ll post when this is done and let you know how easy/hard it was and if my Mum likes her new toy!
