Netbooks?

Wouldn't be using it much for heavy work. Maybe some word processing, but it wouldn't be my main computer for that. I already don't use the DVD drive with the laptop I have, so lacking one of those would not be a huge deal to me.

Aldrin I love your idea there! I'll have to run that thought by Erin.

What about brands? Anyone have better luck with certain ones?

Overall I think the keyboard (as mentioned) takes some getting adjusted to, and the tiny trackpad is a little difficult. But for on the quick websurfing and simple document work you can't beat it.
