I looooove my netbook. I post on WBB and facebook and send emails on it every morning in bed. Karen figured out the language issue for me, so now I have punctuation back (which is something close to my heart, so I'm very grateful to her). It is totally portable, fits in my purse, and picks up wireless most everywhere (and where it doesn't, I have a rocket stick that hooks me up). I am running microsoft office, and I have had no issues with memory running any applications so far. I would totally get another one of these before I would buy a laptop. _________________ What we most need to do is hear within us the sounds of the Earth crying.

Sounds nice...I wish I had such a portable 'appletop'...but then again, I like my 'appletop' plenty enough.
*smiles*
Do you have a name for your netbook yet?

I'm thinking of getting a netbook, too! I love my laptop but it's quite heavy to cart to and from uni. Might pick one up in Feb  _________________ Did you ever wonder if the person in the puddle is real, and you're just a reflection of him? Calvin and Hobbes

I still l-o-v-e my netbook. Way easier than a laptop to cart around and it does everything I need to do. Cheaper than a laptop, too. _________________ What we most need to do is hear within us the sounds of the Earth crying.

They have a few 'back to school' sales here so I might put one on lay-buy (lay away?).
My mum agrees that it would be a good idea too! what's the battery life like on your netbook? my laptop had about 2hrs but it's now down to about 10min gotta replace the battery _________________ Did you ever wonder if the person in the puddle is real, and you're just a reflection of him?

I get about 3 hours on the internet on it; apparently it uses more battery life when you're online. I've never run out, but I guess I'm also never really more than 2 hours away from a power outlet. _________________ What we most need to do is hear within us the sounds of the Earth crying.

Advantage # 32 to the netbook: the nurses think it is a portable DVD player... _________________ What we most need to do is hear within us the sounds of the Earth crying.

I wouldn't trade mine in for a laptop. Neither would other people I know who have them. _________________ What we most need to do is hear within us the sounds of the Earth crying.
