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...

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...
