The Eee can do all of that in Easy mode, no less :)
You win this time, Dragon... but I still expected the Eee to not appeal to students.
Note: I do not lump you in with students. You intelligence exceeds the average student's by a few standard deviations. You understand the real purpose behind getting and using a computer that is deliberately small and underpowered.
Although I do plan to set up a workstation for this in a while. A desk with an external keyboard, mouse, speakers and possibly monitor for use at home.
I'd never used Google Docs before the Eee. I'd used Gmail before just so I had some email I could check from work (I've used pop3 exclusively beforehand my entire life), but the prominent links for gdocs in the Eee made me try it. Also, I've found myself working on RPG related docs at work during slow times. Easier to do them on gdocs then to email copies back and forth every day.
There are some great games you can play on the Eee, like Wesnoth and Quake. They're just not warcrack.
Lets see, this week I'm booked up. Days I could feasibly meet you include Saturdays the 23rd and 30th. I'm totally free those days. Friday the 22nd I start work at 4pm, so I'm open for lunchly type stuff. Sun-Mon-Tues every week I start at 2:30, so I aim to be on the train by about 1:40, so I'm good before then. Except Tuesday the 26th I'm just off completely. I'm also off every Wednesday. However, I typically spend those with the GF. She'd be happy to tag along though, so those are also options.
Any day not mentioned above just won't work for me.

Make what you will of this and let me know.
