I'm thinking maybe we could break it down like this:
- Keyword: Controlled vocabs with role attributes like "infotype," "version," "os," "audience," etc.
- Subject: Free text, no roles, descriptive of subject matter.
Thoughts?

but then how is it a "set of subjects"
True. The way it's tagged is subjectset > subject > subjectterm, so it is intended to allow for multiple subjectterms.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Eee PC update: I went to lunch with the Eee PC (and hub came along too). Tiny Laptop is, indeed, tiny: [link]

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

This actually looks better for my work project than either an iPhone or the godawful UMPC.... so, can we borrow it? (I kid. But maybe we'll put it in the budget for next year.)

Not bad, actually. It's touch-typeable, and I don't have tiny hands -- it took a few minutes to get the feel of it, but not that much worse than adjusting to any other new keyboard. Arrow keys, shift, and the like are big enough to be useful. The top row (f-keys overloaded with various control settings, like a lot of laptop keyboards) is really pretty tiny, but of course those aren't not used as much.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's so cute. I have been vaguely thinking that something like that would be a good replacement for my laptop when it finally gives up, but I didn't know they were readily available. Sweet.

All is well that ends in pizza.
The same model Eee PC with half the HDD capacity is only $299.
I wonder how many people upgrade the HDD immediately? I see some have done so with the RAM.

Nuh-uh. But I'm thinking of bringing it in on Monday for a Staff Meeting show and tell, so I'd be happy to show it off to you if I do.
