Acer Aspire One

I got a chance to play with the Acer Aspire One. It's easy, fast, and just a joy to use. I think I forgot to mention this in the video (if I did, then this is just a repeat of what I said) but the boot time for the Aspire One is about 13.8 seconds. My MacBook boots in 40 seconds, so the Aspire is lightning fast. The Linpus Linux Lite OS that it comes preloaded with is fabulous. For a Netbook, it has a very usable keyboard. Watch the video to find out the rest of my input about the Aspire One, as well as some things that I don't like about it, and whether I would recommend it.

I haven't used the Aspire One personally, and I haven't seen a Linpus version of it in a long time, so I couldn't say. Sorry I couldn't be of any help.

Another fantabulous video. I thought that both the presentation as well as the passion for what you discuss is very refreshing. You don't waste time building a clock, when all that is needed is telling the time! Excellent! As always, Educational, informative very nicely presented. Keep-em Coming! (smiles :))

It is possible to get skype working by downloading Fedora 7 version, installing everything, then pressing left Alt F2 type "skype" in the box that pops up, press enter and it's working, repeat whenever you want to use it - Alt F2 return (skype will be there in the box from last time.
