I've been on the lookout for some eeePC components for one of my netbooks, and came across the gem of a post:

http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=70464

I really love my EeePC so I want it's new owner to be a careful modder or someone who will use it as I have (well, if you're not a poweruser, that's cool, too.) So I want an explanation of why you want it and why you think you're the best candidate.
I've never thought of buying a used laptop as something you have to qualify for...
For all the trash I talk, I sure own a lot of Macs...

Reading further down, he's apparently messed up one of the USB ports with yogurt. Maybe if I promise to pour maple syrup into the keyboard he'll let me have the privilege of buying it?

I would stick to dairy products. Maybe tell him you want to do a cheese mod.

If he was really clever he'd charge a fee for your submission.

Does anyone really believe it was yogurt? Given that, he'd have to prove to me that it was professionally cleaned before I'd take it.

Why... is this a thread again? Isn't that an eeePC? Does anyone care?
