But we were laughing about it a year or two later, and my daughter said she knew it was a lousy Christmas gift. I asked her WHY she would let me buy them! She said she was a kid at the time, it wasn't HER place to keep her parents out of trouble. I'm not sure propagation of the race should be a primary goal anymore.
I also like my netbook best for cookbooks and recipes in the kitchen. The library has tons of ebook cookbooks, and if you use calibre, you can get a free subscription to Epicurious for her.

As one of the previous posters mentioned, the netbook is a much better size for a recipe. Also my netbook will rotate vertically, so I can see both the ingredients and the cooking directions all on one page.

cheers
