Must be just you. I've been using computers since my first encounter with a SWTP 6800 in the late 70's, and subsequently since the mid 80's IBM PC's with roughly the same keyboard layout we all use today..... and I can't *ever* recall using the right shift key. In fact I had to look closely to see if I even had one :) I noticed I have a right control key too....never used!

In the market for a Samsung, hopefully with better plastic than my monitor that dismantles itself every few months with temperature changes - pity the dollar/GB pound is not still up around $2.10 though.]]>Nov 3rd 2008 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/samsung-nc10-netbook-priced-at-299/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/samsung-nc10-netbook-priced-at-299/

Oh wait, in this case the reason is it's successor is a pig and a whole mess of machines came out that make good use of it.

WTF, it's win-win for Microsoft, innit?]]>Oct 1st 2008 9:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/samsung-nc10-netbook-priced-at-299/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/samsung-nc10-netbook-priced-at-299/
Official press release plus lots of gadget pr0n worthy pics here:

http://www.akihabaranews.com/en/news-16742-Samsung+kicks+out+its+new+10.2%27%27+Netbook,+the+NC10.html

Two differentiating factors I see here: a full-sized right 'shift' key and anti-bacterial keyboard.

I think the netbook looks very professional and really thin so those are factors of interest for me.

Samsung FTW!

I'll wait until it's reviewed, but unless it runs far too hot, or isn't built well, this is the netbook I'll be buying.]]>Oct 1st 2008 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/samsung-nc10-netbook-priced-at-299/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/samsung-nc10-netbook-priced-at-299/Oct 1st 2008 11:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/samsung-nc10-netbook-priced-at-299/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/samsung-nc10-netbook-priced-at-299/Oct 1st 2008 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/samsung-nc10-netbook-priced-at-299/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/samsung-nc10-netbook-priced-at-299/Oct 1st 2008 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/samsung-nc10-netbook-priced-at-299/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/samsung-nc10-netbook-priced-at-299/Oct 1st 2008 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/samsung-nc10-netbook-priced-at-299/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/samsung-nc10-netbook-priced-at-299/

Please stop using the phrase 'me-too'. Just stop it. Not only are you;

a) Feeding a troll, but also;
b) Justifying his (unwarranted and UNjustified) position on particular products, and;
c) Ruining what little respect you had left when it comes to bias towards a, ahem, particular brand.

Thankyou, and please, grow up.

There are more important things in life. The point of XP being based on an even older NT system is a valid one but kinda stupid considering the current incarnation of MacOS is considerably older (BSD anyone?), and Unix distros have a heart and soul to put both to shame. People who like easy set-ups, remote working, and quick and brutal hacks and fixes like XP on these machines; the complete control freaks who aren't happy unless they're reconfiguring the MTU size on their wlans like Linux flavours; and those users who like nothing more than sitting in Starbucks pretending to write the next War and Peace love MacOS. It's got nowt to do with age. The older of the three is the most configurable, the newest is easiest on the eye. Seems to be the way it's always been.]]>Nov 25th 2008 8:09AM
