The netbook isn't for everyone, I had one for a week to play with and I never found a way to do things I do on a laptop. I think they all have USB connections so you could attach external hard drives and dvd drives, but it will never replace a computer. It reminded me of the old computer terminals we had at the school library way back when. Kudos to you for putting up with it all.

re: OMF CD did throw everything in including the kitchen sink, didn't he? I was watching a bit of the BBC miniseries of this book last night and it's probably the first time I've really heard criticism of society from CD. I know he railed against social injustice throughout his life, but the message was very blunt in OMF. It can almost speak to today's society in a way. We haven't changed all that much in one hundred and fifty years.

The very same struck me throughout the adaptation. It was very "in your face" if you'll pardon the expression. Still, now and again, it does ya good hearing a spade tagged a spade ...
