I have an original eeePC and I love it. No it is not my main computer, I only use it on the road, or when I want to boot into a computer quiclky. A tiny screen is a bit of a pain, but so is lugging around a large notebook or laptop. Best advice is to buy one that comes with Linux. A friend of mine purchased a netbook with Windows XP on it, and was much happier after he installed Ubuntu Linux on it.
