Dave Winer can touchtype on an Asus Eee PC

Photo by Dave Winer shows why he likes the Eee PC (right) as a reporting notebook

I had a negative reaction to the Asus Eee PC keyboard after finding that I couldn't touchtype reliably on the tiny keys. Dave Winer shared my fears but he still bought one, and he blogs:

the keyboard works, even though I have huge hands and fat fingers. You can learn how to touch type on this keyboard, as I write this I'm loooking out the window at the traffic on 16th St, and only had to look at the key board to ffind the numeric keys. Otherwise, I l4eft the errors in so you could see how accurate you can be with this keyboard.

The appeal of the Asus for moving around is that it's much smaller than his 17-inch MacBook Pro, as his photo shows.....

Spotting the three (?) typos should not be a problem for Guardian readers....
