[gui-talk] Daydreaming about PC laptops. Any comments?

[David Andrews]

Net books are not necessarily "cloud computing."
   Cloud computing is using applications via the internet, 
applications that run from a server, and are accessed with your 
internet browser.  A Net Book is a small, stripped down laptop.  So, 
Sherry, if your laptop is of recent vintage, you might be happier 
with it than a net book.

The performance of netbooks is ok, but nothing great, fine for a 
little e-mail or browsing.
