Haa haa haa!!!

Surely they're not using a pirated disk image?? Maybe it was cheap on ebay??

Side-splittingly funny, this. Poor Asus, they come up with a niche product running a reasonable Linux OS, then the market says "Hey! We want Windows on our Eee!".

Sometimes you just gotta stick to your original business plan.

McCain camp infected?

Shocking, but there could be a silver lining.

What are the odds of the McCain lot being infected? :)

I'm pretty sure his brain is. It's that virus that lowers IQ so that you can only be a mumbling imbecile with a horror-flick smile.

Mind you, I'm one of his fans.
