[TriLUG] My EeePC 1000 Review

[David A. Cafaro]

No problem on the review, though others might in interested in my so  
far short experience with it.

When you say shut the unit down, do you mean complete poweroff or  
suspend?

Poweroff I imagine it would still have decent battery left after a  
couple months.  Suspended, don't know, but given how I tend to leave  
it in my bag in suspend mode often, there's a good chance I may end up  
testing this situation sooner than you might think :-).

Cheers,
David
