thrilled with it.

Joe,

I've been looking at Asus EEE and wonder if you'd share your impressions of the 7" screen size and 800 X 480 resolution. For comparison I knocked my desktop monitor back to its lowest resolution (800 X 600) and the thing that bothered me off the bat was that so many Web sites target a 1024 X 780 resolution. Same with Office applications. And while my own Web applications generally target 800 X 600 resolution, scrollbars would appear at 800 X 480.

If scaled-back PCs were to become prevalent with students in K-12 schools, it appears that I'd need to change my UI models and gear them to lower resolutions.

Brochures of Asus EEE also show a black border around the LCD. Can't the 800 X 480 fill up the 7" screen?
