'Member that? I guess this means you got over yourself and realized how foolish it is to care so personally about such unimportant things, yes? :p]]>May 15th 2008 11:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/eeepc-keyboards-different-on-black-and-white-models/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/eeepc-keyboards-different-on-black-and-white-models/
give you a heads up on something, alot of people are passionate about linux myself included]]>May 15th 2008 11:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/eeepc-keyboards-different-on-black-and-white-models/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/eeepc-keyboards-different-on-black-and-white-models/
The problem with that premise is that I, too, use Linux exclusively. In fact, I advocate passionately for it. More to the point, I'm hosting a 35-person Ubuntu cocktail party this weekend for a bunch of non-techie total novices.

The difference I know how to take a joke and, apparently, you don't. :p It's all good though buddy I understand. :D]]>May 15th 2008 11:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/eeepc-keyboards-different-on-black-and-white-models/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/eeepc-keyboards-different-on-black-and-white-models/May 15th 2008 11:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/eeepc-keyboards-different-on-black-and-white-models/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/eeepc-keyboards-different-on-black-and-white-models/

Seriously, I really enjoy my Eee. I use it for business and research, and it's small enough that it doesn't weigh me down when I commute on my bike. But here, if it's not silver and doesn't have a light-up apple on the back, it's invisible (not that I mind).

Except when I tell them how cheap it was.]]>May 15th 2008 11:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/eeepc-keyboards-different-on-black-and-white-models/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/eeepc-keyboards-different-on-black-and-white-models/May 15th 2008 11:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/eeepc-keyboards-different-on-black-and-white-models/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/eeepc-keyboards-different-on-black-and-white-models/
"Perhaps the actual spacing between the bottoms of the keys is the same on both models, but the tops of the white keys definitely seem wider."

LOL.

OK, I don't expect a journal quality scientific article .. but come on .. don't they have a ruler or something?

"We should do a web article on the keyboard differences between black and white eee PCs. But that would be a lot of work. We'd have to measure stuff. So... let's go to a local retailer! That will be awesome! We can use their display computers extensively and say it's 'for an article we're writing!'"

Nice to be back from the computer store and inside our windowless nerd nest. You know, I've started this article but I'm only on the second paragraph and I'm stuck. Here, let search the web.... OH YES! jkkmobile just did the work! They didn't meansure anything but the removed two keycaps. Man, that must of been a lot of work! My web article is saved!"]]>May 16th 2008 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/eeepc-keyboards-different-on-black-and-white-models/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/eeepc-keyboards-different-on-black-and-white-models/
If you have white keys and want them black, just use a magic marker. What the hey? Key color doesn't help you type any faster, so what's the purpose.]]>May 15th 2008 11:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/eeepc-keyboards-different-on-black-and-white-models/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/eeepc-keyboards-different-on-black-and-white-models/May 16th 2008 12:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/eeepc-keyboards-different-on-black-and-white-models/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/eeepc-keyboards-different-on-black-and-white-models/May 16th 2008 12:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/eeepc-keyboards-different-on-black-and-white-models/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/eeepc-keyboards-different-on-black-and-white-models/May 16th 2008 1:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/eeepc-keyboards-different-on-black-and-white-models/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/eeepc-keyboards-different-on-black-and-white-models/
Many have complained about the uncomfortable keyboard on the Eee PC. While neither the black nor the white keyboard is comfortable for a touch typist, that's all the more reason to take whatever advantage you can find.

To be fair, while I prefer the black keyboard, many of my coworkers prefer the white. They all noticed a pronounced difference in feel between the keyboards when seeing them and touching them next to each other.]]>May 16th 2008 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/eeepc-keyboards-different-on-black-and-white-models/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/eeepc-keyboards-different-on-black-and-white-models/May 16th 2008 1:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/eeepc-keyboards-different-on-black-and-white-models/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/eeepc-keyboards-different-on-black-and-white-models/
but it takes about a minute or two to post a comment on a blog about something "not being news" on a non-news site.
