Agents Moving To Affordable Netbook Computers - Be SOLD, Without Selling Out

Below, are snippets from an article about netbook computers and me which appeared in the Star Tribune online and in its newspapers. I was quoted as a "netbook" enthusiast. Note: While I believe netbooks will change the World by making technology cheaper and available to all peoples, I still love my laptop.

Deutsch bought a netbook (also called a nettop) called the Eee PC, made by the Taiwanese maker Asus, for about $350. O'Gorman nearly bought a netbook, but after some research opted for a laptop instead. Deutsch said a netbook is less expensive and lighter than a laptop, and adequate for Net access....

My laptop has a 15-inch screen and weighs 6.5 pounds, while my netbook has about a 7-inch screen and weighs about 2 pounds." The netbook is slower than the laptop, "but that's part of the reason they're able to keep these things affordable."...
