altogetherisinew fangled technology.
I've been meaning to buy a laptop/netbook/computer of some kind for university, and unless I suddenly discover something all round better, the way the wind is blowing suggests I'm going to buy an Eee. Mainly, because I keep gleefully talking about how much I can't wait to have an Eee. And thinking of names, etc. I mean, I also found my dream (full size) laptop, but that about £800 which I really don't have at the moment. I have this pipe dream that I will magically do really well in m exams and as a reward my mother will buy it for me, allowing me to actually afford both. But then, I look at m revision, and our bank balances, and the state of the economy, and *sigh*. A girl can dream, and I live in hope, I guess.
What I really want to know is a) does anyone have any laptop/netbook buying advice and particularly b) I am also considering taking the plunge and buying Linux, but usually I get scared and confused and reassure myself I'll stick with XP. So if anyone uses Linux, or hatess Linux, or has any Linux advice, that would be brilliant.
