All these exploding batteries make me paranoid about using my laptop now. It's a fairly old Dell, from before all the recalls started, but it runs effin' hot and now I'm afraid it's going to go boom. Sigh.
Haha...I barely remember my first PC, but I was two years old at the time (19 now, please don't drop crap on the young'un here :P) and so of course not many details are going to stick. I've always grown up around pretty recent stuff, though, so whatever was fairly recent around 1989-1990 is likely to be what I had...
Pretty neat. What I'd really like to see, though, is a mini-PC built into something small that doesn't take up much space. For some of us, space is precious and we can't fit something like a coffee table into what we do have free. :)
I wonder if it'd tell you when your load in the washer overbalances so you can ignore it in the hopes it'll rebalance itself... (I don't do this, but I know people who do.)
Yet another reason for me to think about replacing the battery in my laptop. The thing runs hot enough with its current battery to give me third-degree burns as it is...
"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
