Quoted as one of the 'gadgets of the year' and only released in the United States...but I got mine in HK at a very good price ;) I am still trying to figure out how to use it. Sometimes it makes me feel like I am a novice at computers even though I have been using them since I was 11 and was one of the first families in the neighbourhood to get unlimited internet.
I still remember watching one of the YouTube tutorials teaching how to install a new piece of software...when they opened a DOS window and started typing commands, I almost fainted =P I wasn't the fact that couldn't read the writing cos it was so small on this tiny screen, but because I might need to learn commands for Linux to install anything that freaked me out!
Then I found the trusty Settings tab with add/remove software heee then it was more simple then falling out of bed. It even auto detected the programme that I wanted to download! This thing is smart ;)

hey mate,
yep, it is possible to think too much. After a while I realised I was so far down the path of 'questioning and understanding' that I was confusing myself and that there is a whole bunch of stuff to be enjoyed that doesn't need to be understood... at least not all the time... so yep, it has been a great six months of not thinking and not worrying... perfectly timed... happy new years and peace out,

If you want to add more software to your Eee, you might be better off switching to the "advanced" interface, which gets rid of the tabs and gives you a full KDE desktop. Instructions for doing this can be found at places like eeeuser.com.
The Eee is certainly a lot of fun to play with.
