As computers come down in price, and become more common in the household, we are finding new and useful roles. One of the new and popular rolls is the “kitchen computer”. With the new Eee PC’s, kitchen computers are becoming more popular and cheaper. However one of the problems in the past has been the keyboard and mouse.

Kitchen computers can be used for many things. You can use it to display streaming news, Internet radio or (the most popular) use it to access the world largest cook book, the Internet. The problem that arises with cooking and clicking is that the mouse can become dirty. Traditional mice can be wiped down with a cloth, but their seams collect dirt and their hard to keep clean. Unlike traditional mice, the Belkin mouse is washable and that makes it the perfect mouse for the job.

I have been looking forward to getting my hand on one of these for months. Finally last week I was able to pick one up and take it for a spin and I was not dissapointed.

First of all, let me explain what the Asus Eee Box is. It’s a bare bones, mid powered desktop computer that is about the size of an average novel. It’s a new breed of computer that is the desktop equilivent of the Netbook and Asus is leading the pack in every catagory.
