OK well I now have a new toy to play with, a nice little EeePC which I got off ebay.

Basically that means a couple of things:

Firstly it ends my 12 years association with Psion, really as I started with off with a little Psion 3, and progressed through a 3a (which I got from a now defunct pawn brokers on the City Road) and a Revo, culminating in getting a much desired Psion 7 (again off of ebay).

After much work hunting around, I eventually managed to load it up with a Netbook personality module, a working wifi card, a full java 1.1 environment, and lots of abandonwear.

But time and tech wait for no man, and the psion (with associated kit) has finally left me to go to a collector in Russia, and the money has been recycled to get this little eeepc 701 running xandros.

I must admit I’ll miss the physicality of the keyboard and screen that came with the Psion 7/Netbook, but it’s nice to have a os you do some serious dev with.

Secondly, it may also mean that I might be able to blog post more often, as I can now write things up on the train to work, and post when I get in.

Well, hopefully……
