I sometime wonder if I should be let out alone with my bank cards or even cash, but anyway today was a spending day. I have been going on for a while about buying a new netbook, something small and light to carry around with me.
My current lap top is heavier than most desktops with a big screen – I was having some problems with my eyes at the time and thought this would be a good idea. One operation later and the eyes are fine, mostly.
So today I went out to by a netbook and found out that I was going to have problems with the atom processor running the programs I wanted.
So I ended up buying a mini lat top with window 7. Now I have only been using it for a few hour and I can only see one thing that might cause issue going forward. When I move the lap top to fast it locks the hard drive, so either I will be driven a little crazy, get used to it, or end up breaking the disk – glad I backup often if the last comes to pass.
I am writing this post in window 7 live writer – I love this. I can write and add phtos all on my computer and not have to log into my blogs to post. I can see so many uses for having this running in the back ground all day for different sites, since I use WordPress for most of my sites now.

Good post. is it a good idea to go now with Windows 7? When I went from the XP to Vista it was a nightmare
Windows 7 is a dream compared with vista. But my god did MS do well – they gave us a crap operating system for a few years and then bring out the real one – great way to increase sales…
