We're trading our messages out of order. I understand the below, now. I'm no 
longer interested in netbooks.Miniaturization to that degree isn't my 
desire.

Joel, a net book is a computer that is smaller than most laptops, and
less powerful.  It has a small keyboard, screen, hard drive, USB
ports, keyboard etc.  It is small, and not very powerful but a full
computer nonetheless.  And ... you can believe me as I have worked in
technology for 30 years.
