Don’t know what to get Dad? Try the latest eeePC. It’s tiny and uber  useful- the Asus EEE 1000 is a grand  present for that super dad. It weighs a scant 2.9 pounds and lets ole dad tabulate charts, carry scores of contracts and present powerpoint on the road. It does everything a fullsized $800 laptop can do. Especially if you run XP Home on it. (Who needs Vista anyway? What a clunker!)

I’d take this beauty over any  super-heavy laptop anyday. Priced under $400, the Asus comes with a 160GB hard disk to keep data and it can slip into dad’s windbreaker pockets. No joke! And despite that, the screen is so clear he wouldn’t have to squint! I don’t know what they’ve tweaked under the hood but this baby runs almost 4 hours with wifi and loads XP Home faster than my Core2Duo loads XP Pro. Imagine… 30 sec startup time?! My Core duo needs 1.5 minutes! Looks like the Atom processor has something to it!
