I was strolling through Best Buy today and noticed the Asus – Eee PC. This wasn’t the first time I heard of them but I never saw one in person. The model was the EEE PC 900 and was $449. This model has windows XP loaded on it. The keyboard was a nice size and the thing was light as hell. The 8.9″ screen seemed a little washed out. Maybe it could be corrected with some adjustments.

I imagine most people are buying these as a second computer and basically want an internet appliance. For about $50 less you can get the linux version which is fine for surfing the net.

My Ipod Nano got the ole broken screen defect. Being the handy man I am I decided to order a kit from ebay and replace the screen myself. I have more degrees in electrical/electronic engineering than I can shake a stick at and I consider myself somewhat talented at fixing things.

Everything was going beautifully until I tried to attach the ribbon cable to the main board. I broke the little connector on the main board. I got frustrated at this point and gave up.

My advice. If your Ipod breaks send it in for a repair.
