# 2007 dec 16 (sun) 19:04 :: Got my EeePC!!!

Went ahead, took the plunge, and got a black Asus EeePC 701 yesterday as an early Christmas present from Una (THANKS!!!).

I bought it online at PC Club and picked it up at the nearest store. My experience went something like this...

PC Club guy: Welcome to PC Club
me (GJ): Thanks! I'm here to pick up my EeePC
PCCg: Sorry sir, we just sold the last one.
GJ: That was to me - bought it online today.
PCCg: Ah yes, here we are... You do know that it runs Linux... right?
GJ: Yes of course, that's why I wanted to buy it.
PCCg: ...and we can install Windows on it so you can get some work done...
GJ: Heck no! I'm not putting Windows on this beautiful machine!
PCCg: [smouldering, brooding silence]

Anyway, when I brought it home and took it out of the box, the first thing she said was, "It's MINE!". :) Guess we can always get another one.. hm... Not everybody needs to have Windows. :)
