It's also easy for me to got to the Apple store, but that's the site that got me thinking I might do it myself. Of course, it might just be my first digital download from the library that's causing the battery-dying problem, I'll test tonight.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

I ended up putting it in a table and then adding line numbers.
Woo! New Word skills acquired.

So I'm teaming up with my folks to get my niece a new laptop for her college graduation gift. She's going to Spain for the next year, so I think a smaller laptop would be best. I was looking at something in the $600 range, like one of the larger netbooks maybe. I don't think she needs anything high-powered, she's not going to be gaming, but she will want to run Skype and stream video and so forth, as well as email and probably do grad-school applications on it.
Anyone have any recommendations? Any particular issues I should be aware of? She mentioned wanting a dual-core processor so she would be able to stream video.

Yes, I think so Jon, which is why, a the time, I picked up one or three.

My new Thinkpad isn't here yet unfortunately so I can't really give opinions on it, but the 14" model might fit the bill. It starts at $550 (webcam is a $30 options when customizing so call it $580) and has a Core i3 processor (dual-core) so it should be able to handle pretty much anything she's talking about.
