ASUS EEE 901 Unveiled

At Computex 2008 in Taiwan, the new ASUS EEE 901 PC was unveiled. There has been a great deal of speculation about the upgrade for the last month in the computer press. Much of the speculation was absolutely accurate.

You'll find the new machine will have an Intel Atom TM 1.6 GHz. Processor. This is no surprise as the computer press has been speculating only on the speed of the processor. For those who are unfamiliar with Intel's new Atom TM processor we have a complete article about it.

The remainder of the specification seems to be totally in line with the old EEE PC 900. Old as ASUS stopped taking orders for the 900 before Computex. There is the choice of either the familiar Windows XP or Linux. Both systems sell for the same price but the Linux PC will have 20 GB of disk space compared to 12 GB for the Windows XP version.

One enterprising computer Blogger on "Electricpig" has already taken an EEE PC 901 apart and has found some interesting features on the mother board. You will find there is a connector for a SIM card to be installed and also space for PCI-E card which has the potential for WiMax. No doubt upgrades will come along to the ASUS 901 when they have been put through their paces.

An excellent machine has been given a boost of a better processor and it should beat the competition, or will it? One of the problems for ASUS is that the disc space on the EEE 901 is very limited. One thing advertised at Computex was the offer of 20 GB of web-based storage for the ASUS EEE user. This offer seems to be only available for 1 year, and so is limited. It seems that this is an acknowledgment that the storage on the EEE is not quite big enough. There is also now strong competition. There are two entry-level HP2133 computers that look better than the ASUS that either have 4 GB of solid state disc or a 120 GB hard drive. In many markets the 120 GB version will sell for the same price as the ASUS EEE 901. There are also offerings from Dell and MSI that look very promising but some details are not yet available.

Competition will be high in many markets for these machines and it will only be by looking at the advertising that you will find what you are really being offered. Personally, I would get a Linux PC and take the benefit of the extra disk space. Many people are too technologically challenged to make the time to learn a new operating system, and they will stick with what they know. The major problem for business and home computer users is that there is no option with this machine to run Vista in any shape or form. It seems that Microsoft will be happy to let XP continue provided it is only for these sub-notebooks.

Are you wondering whether you should buy a Kindle or a netbook? We have researched the different options so you don't have to. Need to know what an IT person thinks, then go to http://www.boysbach.com

New Year's Resolutions

Here we stand, poised on the brink of the New Year -and what, exactly, are you planning to do about it? It's time for all those New Year's Resolutions... and this year, why don't we think about making a commitment to something we can truly keep?

If you've been spending a monthly fee on a gym membership but have become somewhat fuzzy on exactly where the gym is, it's time to get out of it. If you're on a contract, find out if there is a way to get out of it. If you're on a month-per-month basis, end it now. Let's face it: if you've been not going to the gym for a prolonged period of time despite the fact that your hard-earned cash is making it to their hot little palms every month, you're probably not going to start going just because you've ripped the last calendar page off of 2008.

Buy yourself a Wii and a Wii Fit. Heck, even if you just buy yourself a Wii, you're probably doubling the amount of couch exercise you get! Once you feel comfortable in gym clothes again, maybe you can drag that old gym membership out of mothballs...and this time, the gym may even work to stimulate your social life.

Another thing: use the New Year as a reason to not say anything mean about anybody. You probably believe that you already don't indulge in petty behavior, but if you really watch yourself, you'll see that you do, from time to time, think unkind thoughts about the girl at the dry cleaner or really, really unkind thoughts about the guy who cut you off at the exit. You'll see that you feel much better about yourself when you don't treat people as if you were a thirteen-year-old girl.

This is the chance to be the best you that you can be. Get a decent haircut, pluck or shear the hairs from your nostrils. Cut your nails decently and keep your toenails at a length that won't create holes in your bed sheets - although, if you have white sheets, you could use these sheets make a create a scary ghost costume. If you're a high-maintenance guy, get rid of the spray tan and the surfer-blond locks - they make you look like Kato Kaelin. Get to work on time every day, and eat your breakfast before you sit down at your desk - at home, in fact, would be a good idea. Don't make promises you can't possibly keep, and keep your house clean. If you're married or in a committed living arrangement, be fair about helping to do your share. And always, always, always look your very best.

If you are stylistically challenged, you need to figure out how to know what to wear. Theoretically, you could take some of that leftover gym money and take out a subscription to some men's magazine or other. However, I warn you that if you don't have a keen understanding of style and fashion - and there is a difference, my friends - you may end up looking like a lost member of the Ringling Brothers clown crew. In magazines, you see, they go a bit over the top. Better to choose a variety of sources: me, for instance, and a salesman at a really good men's store, to which you never, ever go without a voice of reason.

A voice of reason is the person who keeps you from purchasing orange corduroy shorts embroidered with aqua seahorses. Sales people will try to sell you these things because their sales are being tracked for commission or other benefits, and because after looking at box after box of newly arrive white button-down shirts and blue pants, the orange sings to their creative spirits. The fact that their companies work very hard to make them believe they are selling the very finest of men's merchandise makes them want to share their good fortune with you. So bring a voice of reason. This should be a person with relatively good taste that will laugh at you like crazy when you emerge from the dressing room in the orange shorts and not a person who will say, "Hey, I want a pair of those in fuchsia!"

And please, make this the year that you are prepared for every funeral, every wedding, every major life event. Go now, during the sales, and buy yourself a beautiful dark suit, and good white shirt, and two smart ties - one in a somber tone and the other in a festive tone. Buy a pair of excellent black shoes - lace-ups are more formal, so if you can't afford two pairs, buy lace-ups.

Where everything else is impeccable, your watch and cuff links don't have to be expensive - but they do have to be classic. A simple stainless steel or gold watch, and a pair of cufflinks monogrammed with an initial or three in a matching metal will be suitable for any occasion. If you are headed to a festive event - not a funeral or IRS audit - you might choose a pair that gives you a pop of color, such as enameled or even jeweled cufflinks.

Start off 2009 with simple, classic things of the best quality you can afford - and add as you like. If you choose the best, they will last you a lifetime - and that's not a bad solution for a New Year's Resolution.

Whether your interests are in silver, gold, artistic, sports, or other theme-related cufflinks we've got you covered. Cufflink Aficionado carries a broad range of men's cufflinks designed to meet each connoisseur's individual style and interest. Our selection of cuff links are sure to top off that perfect look.
