It’s true. I’ve fallen in love. Allow me introduce you to my Acer Aspire One Netbook. Let me preface the story of how we met by telling you about my laptop. The one I got three years ago and had grand plans of taking it everywhere. And my everywhere, I mean it never left my desk once.
But then I read about these things called Netbooks on Gizmodo and they’re super portable laptops. They don’t have the best specs out there, but the 1GB of RAM and 120GB of Memory beats the pants off the 512MB of RAM and 80GB of Memory on my big clunker laptop. Did I mention that the old clunker never left my desk once?
But there were so many different kinds of Netbooks, I had no idea what to choose! There was the ASUS Eee, the MSI Wind, and of course the Acer Aspire One. Note that none of those link to the $399 version I bought because I got it a week ago so naturally it’s already outdated. But that’s okay. So I researched my booty off. Seriously, I don’t know where it is. If you find it, please get it back to me. And don’t do anything dirty to it please. Pervert. But anyway, after all my very sophisticated research, I settled on the Acer because I feel like I got the most for my money. And it came in blue.
So I got my shiny blue Netbook in the mail the other day and it has been magic ever since. Magic, you ask? Yes, magic. Because I can take it anywhere I go. Like my bed. And the couch. And um, all the other exciting places I go. But wait! It get’s more exciting. I can take it on the train to work, where I have a full hour every day where I am forced to focus on writing my children’s book, which is currently up to page 21, thank you very much. So basically I’ve set up some sort of children’s book writing sweatshop for myself. Grand.
That would probably get a hot scientst Craig. Most others would likely stare at your blankly.
If he tweaked it a bit and said “I’d like to make your ass *MY* hadron collider.” I think he would clear up an confusion…
And Craig, I’m glad I’m not the only one.
Well it does sound kinky, so I suppose there is the universal appeal of that even if you have no idea what he’s talking about.

Copywrite that TwoPi, you’ll be rich.

Congratulations on your new computer. My father recently purchased an Eee PC and I have been helping him set it up. Those UMPC’s are pretty spiffy!
I got a mac a few months ago. Sure it was a lot, but I love it. And my last computer, I NEVER carried around. My Macbook, I carry everywhere. It’s amazing.
And the battery life is unbelievable! My last computer died in about 30 mins. lol. So the macbook lasting seemingly forever is pretty sweet.
TwoPi you are my new hero.
