I have a Asus 1000 HA (10in. screen). I've written some small programs with visual studio 2008 express, and have done some XNA 2d game development as well. The netbook doesn't have any problem running the 2d graphics, and I haven't had to much of a problem with the keyboard. It does take a little getting used to a 1024*600 resolution though

I know somebody who did all his assignment using his 9" EEE. (I'm not sure which model) but, most of his coding is done in nano. I think most programmers here are used to IDE's such as VS which are designed for large screens, and netbooks are a relatively new phenomenom.

what's funny though is that I got started programming on a machine only capable of 800x600 max, which we usually set to 640x480 because of a specific game my parents used to play.
