[kwlug-disc] thanks to all who replied -- the new netbook was purchased

[Insurance Squared Inc.]

John, you're clearly well versed on this stuff so two questions:
1) where to buy  and what would you recommend for a netbook running 
linux?  i.e. if we were looking, is there a specific place around here 
to buy? (and I'm actually considering this).  FS doesn't seem to have 
linux models.
2) can you connect your blackberry to a linux machine?  I'm getting push 
back from the spouse on this, it's her excuse why she has to have XP 
when I want linux loaded (don't want to deal with XP anymore).
