You're welcome. I was nasty to the German guy, it's my fault they
got all ticked off.

I know, and I'm flat broke. 150.oo would be the right price.
But my normal laptop - an Acer Aspire 5315
(with VISTA on it - is there no mercy for people like me?! No wonder
I'm bitchy!) - is so HEAVY, and I have it at the office (I'm self-
employed
with my husband) and take it home from time to time and it just tears
my arm out at the shoulder...

Aaarrgh! Why did you have to tell me this! I need a netbook to
scribble my short stories on. I go by bus and write into a
pupil's paper notebook with an ink pen, and then I have type
it all up, and I would so want a netbook that is light and
and fits into my little black leather rucksack, she said
sobbing quietly into her handkerchief, but I'm broke at
the moment as although I live in Switzerland
I do NOT belong to UBS management
with their huge bonuses...
BUT my birthday is coming up, so there is still hope...!

What about people with wall eyes? You know, one eye looks left, one
right...
