"As someone who doesn't reside in the USA, I was wondering what would be the best way to get internet for my computer in the US for a couple of weeks? If it were Europe I know I'd look for some prepaid data. Is there anything similar offered by American carriers? A MiFi or a data SIM that I can tether from would work, but I'm trying to maintain a tight budget. Help!"
CAD on a Netbook come on. Seriously.
No one on a netbook is running 3D games or editing video.
The normal computer user goes to Facebook, checks their email, chats on Skype or AIM, and does photos. How can a netbook not do these things.

"They don't even do well to running the newest Office 2007 and Firefox."
And Steve has the right idea. "If I ever replace my netbook with something else it wont be a regular laptop it will be a smart phone."
A blackberry and netbook makes a mobile office just a good as the home one.
