Technology: Always and Forevermore

I've never been super big into the latest gadget or tech stuff, but back at the beginning of the semester I finally broke down and got a small netbook to replace the big ole clunky laptop I've been carrying around since 2007. My primary goal was to save my back since I walk/bike up to school everyday, and carry the same stuff to the other school where I teach on Fridays. The laptop was seriously killing me. I couldn't carry anything else with it without wearing myself out x2.

The netbook is small, so up at school I have a keyboard and little mouse I hook up to it, and at home I hook it up to our desktop monitor. But it's a dream in coffee shops, and it's lighter than a lot of books. It's got one more gig of RAM than our desktop! and plenty of storage since all I use it for is word processing and music.

In hindsight, I was thinking I should have done in this a few years ago, but the kind of netbook I got didn't really even exist a few years ago! What are you doing technology?! Always getting better. In this household we obey the laws of thermodynamics!
