Gee, it sure is small!
 
My new netbook, that is.:lol: Driving to NH in a couple of weeks for a family wedding and needed something to stay connected with. I'll be without a bike for about 7 (!) days but will be able to check in to BF.

Well the 'Old Man' is gone, but the rest of the state is still there. It is one of my favorite places in the Northeast...too bad my bride hates mountain regions. Poor girl thinks corn fields are picturesque and mountain views are boring, sigh.

If you can swing by Waterbury Vt., the Ben & Jerry's tour has free samples!!!!

Do enjoy the trip and stay safe!

Surely you can borrow a bike- or find a Gym- or go for long walks. You will have to stay fit for the "Falling Down" session after the wedding ceremony.

And hope you have small fingers for that Netbook.

If you can get a bike - treat yourself to the Mt Washington climb, your legs will never forgive you.

They are great for traveling. We bought one before our trip to Amsterdam last Fall.

Mt. Washington would spell the end of JanMM, I fear. Maybe we'll take the tram up.

Early adopter? Me? Nope. Mac guy? Nope. etc
A Dell mini inspiron is a bread-and-butter toy computer that seems to work OK.

Ben and Jerry's might be worth a side-trip. Saw the Old Man and still have some slides of him somewhere.

I love my Dell Latitude D420 - full computer, 3 pounds - dual processor, etc. About the size of a netbook, but does everything. I bought two of them refurbished for $299 each including XP Pro, 60gb hd, external drive.

You people simply have no manual dexterity. I'm 6'4", with a handspan from thumb to little finger of nearly 11 inches, wear size 12 gloves, and my hands fit nicely in my Acer (Costco) netbook.
