Toy/alternative.  Long term, this thing is for my mom to get her
youtubes, intarnets, and email.  I don't see her ever needing/using
significant horse power.

placement.  The Aspire looks a little larger though.

The xo and eee I (breifly) had became another family gift.  I wonder
what my thoughts on the Aspire will be when it actually arrives....
Hopefully if I really like it, I can catch some more at the next
wootoff.
