Hey Claudius...
You killed my father.
Big mistake.

Netbooks and Windows 7, oh my!

UPS dropped off an Acer Aspire One today that I had ordered from Tiger Direct specifically for usage over the course of November. Yes, folks, I'm participating in NaNoWriMo.

I got an 11.6" model because I handled one of the 10.1" models for a while and how small it was started getting to me pretty quickly. I've been using this one for a good chunk of the day though, and it's pretty much perfect. The 10 incher only runs 1024x600 or something like that, where this one is a comfortable 1366x768 and with much larger keys. Quite nice.

I'm going to have to get used to not using the Home and End keys though, because they're relegated to function-toggled keys. Sad So sad.

And Windows 7. Despite being only about as snappy as my Vista-equipped desktop computer, that's quite impressive because my desktop is running a 2.66 GHz Core 2 Duo and this is running an ultra-low voltage Celeron M at 1.3 GHz. Also, after some getting used to, I actually quite like the new taskbar.

So I feel my money was well spent. I've used laptops many times before, but this is my first personally owned laptop, so that's kind of exciting too. Grin

Holy slag. I switched back to my desktop and everything is so big. Humongous even.

I've got my (gun) sights set on you.

Dude, you should join our mission with SG&C. I don't remember what we were doing, and Jake disappeared again, but wouldn't that be so '80s?
