Boy, I sure wish I'd seen that special. I would have gotten that little computer for myself and my family. What a great Christmas gift they would have made. Have you tried logging on wirelessly? You have to have an acct with T Mobil or AT&T for mobile broadband..........something I'm very, very interested in. I'm also interested in the lighter laptop as mine is so darned heavy. I take it with me when I travel, but it's almost like packing another suitcase around. I love the idea of using a backpack..........most of my purses are backpack style. I find it much easier to have my hands free just in case I need to carry something else, make a phone call or ?? I'm glad you're feeling better, and that you are back bowling. I remember bowling on a team when my kids were young. I loved getting together with the ladies and of course getting some exercise. I think it's going to take a lot longer for your back to heal. I injured my back about 4 yrs ago, and it took at least 2 yrs for me to learn what I needed to do so the pain was minimized. It still gets sore if I sit too long or lift or rake or many other things that aggravate my condition.

Naomi, thanks for your input on the mini-computer. I'm still looking but am inclined to go with the MSI. I've built computers before using their motherboards - they've been around a long time and are making a push in the netbook area. As I mentioned earlier, I am soured by Dell. I've had some not great issues with their products and reliability. Your results may differ. Glad to hear you're on the road to recovery and the back is not bothering as much. There is nothing quite like the pain from a bad back, and it's not good.
