I just got myself a new laptop. It is a Dell Inspiron Netbook Mini 12 which is essentially the sexiest laptop I have ever seen. She has a 12" monitor which is 2in smaller than my old thinkpad.

As much as you might want to cling to the familiar, the newer MS OS, Windows 7 is actually incredibly impressive. Did you get the 1.6 or 1.3 ghz processor? (Should be listed on the box somewhere)

This is a 1.6 and it's not like windows 7 was an option. But given the choice of Vista or XP I'll go for XP.

Well I mean that you can get Windows 7 right now for free legally and use it till 2010 and try it out.

Also, HOLY SHIT ONE PIECE.

That is a very sexy computer, but it doesn't look like it has a trackpoint. What will you do? Anyway, I hope you and this new comp get along well and it lasts you many years. Were you able to get anything off of your old hard drive?

It doesn't have a track point! I am still getting used to the touch pad but I'm adjusting well. I think the issue is that I have been pretty heavy handed with the track point all these years and that sometimes makes the touch pad click things. Other than that it's a sweet little beauty.

glad you finally opened it and are enjoying the new toy. Interesting that "it" is a "she" ... remember attachment to objects... ;)

OS: Kubuntu of course!

I decided my attraction to was was a feminine appeal. I always tend to personify my computers... This may explain why I get so upset when they break even if I didn't loose anything important.
