Hi Brock, slightly off topic but I am about to go on a 6 week tour and need to take a laptop to keep my blog going. What do you think of the EeePC? How do you plan to connect to the internet?
I think the Eee is great. It fits nicely in the bar bag, will connect to wireless or ethernet. Absolutely great for blogging and surfing etc. Battery life isn't fantastic, about 3 hours depending on screen brightness, wireless useage, speaker volume etc. The keyboard could be called cramped, but I'm touch typing perfectly well on it now. I intend to use mine on tour for e-mail, blogging, surfing, photo backup and basic editing.
It's very rugged, very light, very compact, very capable and very cheap.
www.eeeuser.com has an enormous amount of info on them.
