seconded (i love mine), but if you are getting any netbook, you should
have the user actually use one for a few minutes before purchasing.
the cramped keyboards and less-than-usual-height-screens can be a
turnoff or unusable for some, but that should be pretty obvious even
when demo'ing the units at a store briefly...
