They're so cute when they play together!

Nice! I have been thinking of picking one of those up and running OSX on it. Congrats on the purchase!

I'm a better mother to electronics than I would ever be to human children. lol

I think I'm going to be sick.

Is Windy's surname Tux or Vista?

[kommodore]

XP, as preloaded. No optical drive, so I spent the weekend hacking USB flash drives into bootables.

It worked for the bios upgrade, now if I can just get Vista to load off of it ^__^

Or wait until Windows 7?

Anyway, currently we (My bf and I) have been putting the hard drives in his main pc to install things that require cd's. He ghosted his original hdd and loaded it onto a 32gb ssd so I'm jealous.

We had to ghost mine too, and put it on the hdd that came out of his b/c mine was making a whining noise when I tilted the laptop =\

**edit** That makes no sense unless I tell you that he bought a Wind also, the day after I got mine =)

Man, that laptop sucks. What's the big deal ??.

[djwaz]

Well, I guess most of the excitement is that it is not a notebook/ laptop it is a "net book" which are all the rage this season. The size may turn you off a big but it is designed for ultra portability with decent specs. It is actually pretty cool if you ask me, has some impressive features for the price. I would consider one if I didnt already own a new macbook.

[Re@lly Dope!]

Djwaz, I love my macbook pro. So when I see something like this with those specs, I'm not really impressed.

[kirizzle]

you can't really compare a macbook pro to a netbook. not really the same thing... at all. netbooks are primarily for browsing the internet. For a netbook those specs are actually impressive.

[Re@lly Dope!]

$700 to browse the web ? Why ?

[kirizzle]

that i don't know. usually they are like 300 bucks.

[jayclip]

$700 to browse the web ? Why ?

There not $700, they run about $412. thats with good spec's like webcam, 160HD, 10' screen, 1gig of memory. There pretty good.
Apple not my type of thang. WINDOWS all day.
