I always get an impulse to get a new machine

but I always have to stop myself, cos even though I'm only running xp on one netbook, and Linux on the other, they both run perfectly fine and the battery lasts 5 hours on each

I always manage to tell myself I don't need to

The only thing that does irritate me, is the onwards evolution of HD and graphics, of which these machines struggle with

Think I'll wait a few more months, and wait for the next thing to come out, and then the 2009/2010 machines will start to become cheaper on t'bey
