So, the dealio -- my computer is in the shop for 2-4 weeks. Dad has graciously allowed me to use his in the mornings and evenings, when I'm at home, and the parentals are talking about buying me one of those mini-laptops if I don't get my own computer back before we head for the Lower 48 at the end of the summer.

When dealing with actors who are great at one rehearsal and then fall to pieces, I always use something the ever-wise

You should...no, MUST, go play with the netbooks before you buy one. You need to check keyboard size and find one that works for you.

Having said that, angie_di has an HP Mini 1000 that she likes, and you're welcome to test it.

This is par for the course for Best Buy...anything more complex than a keyboard or hard drive replacement and it has to be shipped out somewhere for repair, and its got a low priority.

There are no apple stores up here...Just a couple of resellers.

Matter of fact, the only Apple Service Depot in the state is done by my company, and its only for organizations with contracts(IE, School Districts)

I have and am currently typing this on an eeeeeeeeeeePC 901 that came with their default Linux that I replaced with Easy Peasy which is a netbook-optimized version of Ubuntu (which is a different kind of Linux, which you maybe already know) and it's pretty great for interneting and word processing and playing solitaire, which is pretty much all I use it for. It was one of the first of the ultraportables so you can probably get a fancier one these days, but mine was $600 and it weighs two pounds and fits in my purse (it's 9") and has no moving parts so it has a crazylong battery life and it will be fine if I drop it (but it is not so good if you want to watch DVDs), and it is super cute and I endorse it fully. I have a MacbookPro and an ancient Dell laptop that I use for my at-home computing, but I use this one whenever I want a computer outside of the house ( ... )
