Asus' newest EeePC is no ordinary netbook. The EeePC MK90, which goes on sale Wednesday exclusively at Toys 'R' Us, also goes by the name "Disney Netpal." In parent mode, the system look like any average Windows XP PC. But in child mode, Disney-branded programs and themes dominate.
The Disney browser and e-mail client both employ a "white list" strategy, meaning they only allow kids to access approved sites or send and receive e-mail from pre-approved sources. In the browser, there is no address bar, just a Favorites button for navigating to sites. Parents can add sites to the Favorites list by clicking the Parental Control button and entering a password.
Heads up to folks that have been interested in trying out the Windows 7 Release Candidate, the cutoff date for downloading it is today, so if you haven't already, I'd recommend grabbing it while you can.
OK so I bought my USB drive and I created a bootable with unetbootin and I popped it in and turned on the acer and it booted into Windows what the fuck
It should give you the option to go directly to a hard drive install, boot the live image, or boot the live image to fuck around in and then install from there.
There must be an age threshold for people who don't innately know how to manage their bootup.

I have literally never done this except for when I tried it on the desktop and just ran wubi and then ended up uninstalling and repairing my MBR because it was too much of a pain in the ass to do wireless with the desktop running Ubuntu
The netbook though does it just fine (I'm in it now)
But yeah I've always just used windows, never really fucked around with it

I'm kinda liking UNR though! I may keep it!
Yeah, I don't expect you to know or anything. Just kinda musing about where the cutoff is for people who didn't constantly have to dick around in the BIOS and with boot chains and all that even for every day shit, not just major overhauls.
Kinda like how kids growing up now will largely never play videogames with a wired controller.

I disagree.
I predict a better implementation of haptic.
perhaps a haptic that only responds in certain areas.
Though, I shouldn't knock it till I've tried it, I guess.
what is haptic
speak words I understand
force feedback touchscreen
or you know, you could have spent 1.4 seconds and looked on google
who needs a smaller laptop when they have a bigger laptop
just seems like pointless nerd/corporate decadence
That's 1.39 seconds too many
by the time I finished typing haptic I would have hey look a quarter
t Fallout I don't need a big laptop, I just need something to word process and internet on while I'm at school
I don't particularly want to haul around a full size laptop either
Thus a netbook is a good fit
I don't want a bigger one at all
i hate things that are small
heyoooo
i did just get an iphone though that shit's hot
bet he didn't pay $600 for it
yeah, but 150 texas dollars is like 600 normal dollars.
cause everything's bigger in texas mirite?
no
Buy me a netbook, and I'll buy you beer or smokes or something. Whatever it is you kids trade for.
What do I do here
Wait once I boot into UNR will it install to my HD so I can just choose my boot order or do I have to have the USB in every time
I'm trying not to be retarded but it's really hard right now

if it helps I was pressing buttons before the screen even turned on

Fuckin' Jazz Jackrabbit, hell yeah
I think I'm going to install this to my HD now, if worse comes to worst I'll just remove it and repair my MBR if I end up not liking it
What happens if I tell the installer to try to unmount partitions
I'm at the "prepare partitions" screen and I have no idea how to set this up now so that I can dual boot
And I shot him an IM a bit ago too and nothing yet
