Here are some cat pictures combined with pictures of my new netbook, to give you some perspective on the size of the netbook of course. (Why did I get the “Pearl” colored netbook? Because it was $10 cheaper, and I didn’t care enough to spend $10 for black (now if cobalt blue had been a choice…)

Here are Kit and the Netbook. Since Kit’s a relatively small cat (at least compared to Kat) it doesn’t seem all that impressive.

Perhaps this gives a little better perspective?

Or this?

And finally a cat free comparison:

Laptop, netbook, cellphone.

Michael is an enabler.

I mean, he actually allowed me to convince him that I needed a netbook before my Dad’s surgery on Friday.

After all, I need something to distract me while I’m waiting, right?

And not only is it running Linux (which I really want to become comfortable with, so I can get away from Windows), it also has Open Office, and bluetooth, so I can use Michael’s phone to access the internet.

Wheeee!

And I had a couple Amazon reward certificates hanging around, so that makes it all better, right?

Michael made some comment about, “our new computer.” Sure thing, dear. Keep believing that.
