But... what if you LIKE the bouncing dock effect?
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ooh - an Eco Drive. You can store the Earth on it!

My mistake, they call it an EcoGreen drive.

I don't need a terabyte of disc space, but I find myself wanting it now. Hmmmm.
In more external topics, does anyone have any recs for a site with netbook skins? I have a lovely new Asus, but it shows every fingerprint in a way only CSI could love.

I've very tempted by the netbooks, especially that Asus 1000HE with the long battery life, but I kinda want to hold out until Windows 7. I'm also still questioning the utility for me personally. While the concept of having a web browser and word processor in an easy to carry package sounds cool. Around the house I might still just stick with my desktop with it's ergonomic keyboard and 28" monitor. When fall comes with soccer practices though, I might see the utility.

I'm traveling a lot, and taking the netbook instead of my full-sized laptop made a world of difference to my shoulders last week. If I didn't have my current travel plans, I probably wouldn't have bothered. But it has been fun. This is the first laptop I've ever had where a stranger asked about it.
