Anyone have a netbook?

Okay, this is gonna sound really dumb but does your notebook have a USB drive?
I'm just asking because i might get me Mum a cheap notebook and get one of those wirelss Dongles. BT is doing P.A.Y.G dongles with 1gb free then £10 for every Gb after that.

I figured that for me Mum, that's a bit of free internet.

I'm asking questions on your thread, i should go make my own

Yea it has 3 USB ports which isn't the most but yeah it has them.

No CD drive right?

The owner of my company has one which he tried to submerge, it still works, but the screen's kinda funky. Yeah he gets twice the battery life out of it compared to my laptop and it doesn't run nearly as hot. Everything seems to run smoother on it. He has begun his world travel section of his life so it's with him everywhere he goes.

No CD drive but really that's not a hindrance. My laptop has had a city of God DVD in it forever and that is the only disc that's ever been in there.

Ok two questions, one a repeat as you ignored poor Jim.

1) What THE FUCK is a netbook? Is a small laptop without a dvd-rom or something? Does it have an internal mechanical harddrive or is sd cards or solid storage?

2) Do they do anything better than the new Apple iPad? iPad's are not in the UK yet and I'm not sure how much they cost, but they look fooking amazing imo, very sexy little gadget and I will probably look into getting one in a year or so.

iPads are between $500 and $850 I think. I'm not sure what it does that my Droid or an iPhone can't do.

Probably nothing, it's just totally cool.
