What does Eee stand for?

Greg is accessing email with his Eee while a skeptical Jennifer looks on.

Greg: It’s an e, e, e.

Jennifer: Triple e? And stands for what?

Greg: Good question.

Jennifer: An obvious question. Hang a string of letters on a product and people will ask. They’ll want to know if the product measures up to their identity.

Greg: I believe the Eee means Easy to to learn, easy to work, easy to play. ASUS advertising slogan…

Jennifer: And does it work for you? I’ve heard they’re a bit underpowered and cramped in the keyboard and still way heavier than an iPhone.

Greg: Yes to all those, but heck, it’ll check email, post a blog, store photos from the camera, and I can fling it in my bag and not even notice I’m carrying it. Well almost.
