Asus EEE PC

[Arthur Pemberton]

Gentlemen,

I need your help justifying purchase of a new computing device. Do any
of you have experience with using the Asus EEE PC (mostly likely 2G)
in a mostly unconnected role as an educational tool? I am interested
in introducing my brother (high schooler) to programming type
activities (esp. python). However, since the machine is being marketed
as a "surf machine" I am wondering how well it would fit that role.

Thanks for any feedback
