Hi group,

My ISP just disappeared. *Poof*, gonzo. So I going to have to forage for wi-fi hotspots.

Been looking at netbooks. I like the idea of the SS drive but I've heard that they're so compact they tend to deteriorate after lots of read/write cycles.

What's been the group's experience?

Must have a matte screen and hopefully a keyboard that's not too cramped. And gentoo-worthy, of course.

Maxim
