Good to see you here, Molly - I’m a huge BOL and Gadgettes fan. I just bought a netbook, the Eee PC 901 - Linux version and I love it. I have a ‘power’ notebook, 17” - heavy on graphics and well, just heavy. I don’t mind lugging it from the living room to the patio, but beyond that it’s pretty cumbersome. The netbook is light, has a remarkably clear and bright screen, and while the keyboard is understandably smaller than normal, it isn’t uncomfortable to use for short amounts of time… say, a lunch hour at the local deli. Plus, if I take it on a trip and lose it, I’m not going to be as brokenhearted as I would if I lost my much pricier machine.
