Netbooks have become the new gadget (This is based on the highly scientific polls I have taken with myself and my dog–we both agree). So I ask myself and my dog (who promptly farts and falls back to sleep) “What’s the deal with these netbooks? Why does everyone want them?” They are tiny, they are slower, and most importantly, you couldn’t kill a burglar with one if he broke into your apartment on some stormy Wednesday night. I thought the American Dream was buying the biggest and most expensive. Now I wake up and see these dirty little netbooks in my Sunday paper. I wish someone would have let me know we were shifting the dream to smaller and cheaper. These things even ship with XP Home. I’m not even sure I’ve seen XP Home in action. Does it have Paint? Notepad?
Anyway, these little boogers have about 1.6 GHz processors, an 8.5 or 10-inch screen and are used primarily for–wait for it–surfing the Net. To make matters even worse, they come in various colors like green, blue, red, black and white. So if I get one of these I have to be concerned about my wardrobe and what outfits I’d wear when surfing YouTube. I certainly wouldn’t want to clash with my computer.
My pollsters think I should get the 10-inch screen (that might at least wound a burglar) and a color most resembling a doggie buscuit.
