My New Toy
I'm writing this post on my newly acquired toy. I've been looking at this newish type of computer that's becoming fairly popular lately. They go by lots of names, but the most popular seems to be "netbook". They are designed as cheap, portable internet appliances for checking e-mail (or posting to blogs) from your couch. This particular one is the MSI Wind. I like it so far (after only using it for an hour). It takes some practice to type on the tiny keyboard, but my hands aren't exactly tiny either. The screen is about the size of half a sheet of paper, which is just big enough to read most web pages fine.

i jealous you. so does mama. think you could shell out some details, like price, where to find it, etc.?
'cause we're all pretty interested in them.
i have never heard of that before but it sounds really handy. i would never use a notebook for anything other than email and internet stuff, sounds cool. so yeah, what's the skinny on it?
There are lots of them available. This one is about $500 from newegg.com. You can get slightly more expensive ones, although most are around that range or lower. There are several versions made by Asus and Dell just came out with one last week. A site that I like to look at for a lot of "netbook" news is liliputing.com.
