Netbooks: Small Inexpensive Laptops for the Masses
 Over the last year there has been a new craze, the Netbook. The term Netbook is used to describe a new type of computer based on the following:
- Cheap as Dirt: Starting around $200, on average $300-$350
- Intel Atom Processor: Basic low power processor, don’t expect to do anything fancier then editing basic documents, sending email and browsing the web
- 10 Inch Screen: The average screen size, although 9 inch and 12 inch Netbooks are also available
- 2 Pounds: The average weight of these systems, super light and easy to travel with!
The top five Netbooks right now are:
- Asus Eee PC 1000H
- Lenovo IdeaPad S10
- Acer Aspire One
- HP Mini 2140
- Asus N10Jc
Let Beanstalk Computing help you setup your next Netbook!
 GetHuman.com: bypass phone systems, talk to a live person, share customer help
Are you sick of the phone systems that don't understand that you want support, support from a live human being, not a multitude of multiple choice answers? Check this list for the proper way to talk to a human being when you call for support. Get Human!
Here are some examples of good ones:
Xobni: Facebook and LinkedIn in Outlook
Xobni: Inbox spelled backwards. With Xobni for Outlook you find out more about your contacts. When you get a new email, if that person is a member of Facebook, Skype, LinkedIn, or others you will know right away!
Not only that, it indexes your email so you can search email and people faster than you can type. It threads emails so your conversations are in context, and more! And best of all, it’s free!
