I have an older one, and it's awesome. The keyboard is a bit small, but it's so nice to have something so small and light. I'd say either get one of those, or an MSI Wind. I've used both at work. Or, if you really don't care about money, get a MacBook Air. Ignore the hype, and try one yourself. I love it. As for the computer game, I would definitely pay money to fight Rraey and Consu.

Way too small of a keyboard. I also have the Acer AspireOne, with a 120 GB HDD, running WinXP. Best. Netbook. Evar. WANT - Another OMW-verse novel or an OMW movie. Possibly starring Ed Asner as the original Perry. He just seems to fit for some reason. I have the Asus EeePC 701. Way too small of a keyboard.

I mean liked D3, but there was something about the originals... For some reason the website is down when I check it today, but the Google cache from November 6 is here: http://74.125.95.104/search?q=cache:lIX7Vv_Zn4MJ:www.descent2.de/d2x.html+d2x+descent&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us. A Google search for "d2x descent" would turn up other DL options, should anyone be interested.

Belisle #107 I've had an HTC Touch for over a year now, they came out sooner in Canada. While I love it and am finding more uses for it all the time it does have an annoying drawback. It runs Windows Mobile 6.1 Now, I'm not a Mac fangirl. I live in a Windows world. But frankly the combo of MS and HTC is seriously annoying me right now as they are playing ping-pong with a fairly big error that is preventing people from syncing their Outlook calendars on more than one machine. If you don't do this it isn't a problem. However, the fact that both MS and the OEM are playing kickball with the problem should be a warning to you for how future problems will be handled. /rant S.
