I’ve had a netbook before – for those of you whom don’t know what a netbook is, it’s basically a laptop – but very much smaller, and more limited. The biggest difference generally is the lack of a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM player in it. They’re pretty slick and I keep thinking that I want one… the problem is – I’ve already had one and I sold it due to the fact that I didn’t use it!

Wow what a weekend.. talk about going by way to fast, eh?
