[Nfbf-l] JAX netbook computer raffle

[Rick brown]

Hello Sheryl, the netbook retails for $349.99 at Best Buy. It has a good 
rating. I have a netbook myself, and I love it. A couple of good rating 
netbooks also are Samsung NC10 or 110, and the ASUS Eee PC1000HE. All have a 
full keyboard with XP home. I have done lots of research to find out which 
is the best netbook on the market. prices are about the same for all. Hope 
this helps.
