Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cables, plugs, wires, cords...that connect your TV, audio, computer, iPod to each other and the rest of the world. You use them all the time, but do you know what they're called?
I got 80% - I missed an obvious one, and a new one that I haven't ever used....

I got 90%, I missed S-Video because I thought it had more pins than that. Shoulda gone with my gut on that one.

So, if you were asking your job to buy you a netbook, which would you choose and why? Price IS a consideration.

Oh yeah! 10 out of 10, bay-bee!
(actually, some I got through process of elimination, and I wasn't 100% of the telephone/ethernet one).

I like the HP Mini line - they're very sleek and have nice keyboards.

Of those, my Brother has the MSI Wind with an extra life battery, and it's pretty heavy for a netbook. I found it felt smaller than my HP, even those they are suppose to both be 10.1"
I like my HP except that it only had a 3 cell battery (and short battery life), and it also has a very annoying AC adapter that does not fit snugly into it's slot. I constantly have to keep pressing it in and even the slightest movement will cause it to become disconnected. Otherwise I love the speed, size and keyboard of my HP netbook, but I think I would look elsewhere had I known how irritating the plug would be. Mine was a refurb, and cost only $230 CDN.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I love my Asus. The six-cell battery has plenty of juice for what I need, and I'm glad I got the larger screen. The one thing that still throws me is the smaller keyboard, but it's only a minor irritation.
