Impressions after the first few hours with an Eee PC

Damn, this thing is light.
Damn, this thing doesn't fit my pocket. It's a computer, not a phone.
The keyboard's tiny! How will I ever learn to touch type on it?
This thing is light. It doesn't stay put when I type.
Where's the keyboard backlight? I'm supposed to adjust ambient light now?
It froze! Thrice! Ah, the community forums have the answer. Something oddball with the wired network settings seeking a network. Turn it off. Who plugs in anymore anyway?
Why doesn't this thing just connect to my wireless network when I turn it on, like my Mac does? Why doesn't Apple make this thing?
It's so tiny, it won't sit on my lap like a laptop. I need new postures.
Look ma, it's so small, I can hold it with both hands and thumb-type! Just like with my phone!
I think I can get used to this keyboard. I typed this entire post on the Eee PC itself!
Eh, why don't my Mac keyboard shortcuts for extended characters work? How do I get smart quotes in this post? Why doesn't Apple make this thing?
I see major lifestyle changes happening.
