Oh yes, Dave Whiner #.

I like Asus' netbook. I needed an extra Windows box at work, so I picked up a $300 eeepc. Very useful, and the battery lasts forever. It's like an iPad, except that I can do whatever I want with it, and it's cheaper.

If this is "failure", I like failure.

Good point. Plus, Asus opened up a whole new category of computers, and the general netbook move put more emphasis on portability and battery life on all laptops. Let's not forget that!
I like my Asus too. I had an EEE, now I am on something a bit bigger (UL30V). It's nice having the performance and battery life (2 graphics cards and settings that change with 2 keys).
I love my UL30V like no laptop I've ever had. Two dual graphics cards and 12 hours battery are so great, I don't know how other laptops can compete.
