I broke down and finally bought a netbook. Been thinking about it for a month or two. Probably need to find a more reliable internet connection, but at least now I can get online at home! Interestingly enough, I have not yet experienced prolonged internet access here in my new home. I suppose it's been good in the sense that it has forced me to ( Read more... )
