The channel chilled out at Sydney’s Bubble Bar to celebrate the ASUS Eee PC heading to the Canadian Arctic for a 1000 hour day exposition.

Two young Aussie adventurers, Chris Bray and Clark Carter, will take an Eee PC on their trek across Victoria Island. The Eee PC will be connected to a satellite and will let the pair stay in contact with the world.

The portable PC arrived in Australia in December last year and has already changed the face of portable computing.
