Other people in this forum are nice. I am not. So I will say what they won't: You are a spoiled little git who expects to have everything done exactly the way you want it or you will whine, cry, and kick your little feet. You've given us a fine demonstration. But life doesn't work that way.

You chose to spend a substantial amount of money on a netbook, which puts its resources into portability, size, and battery life, instead of spending a lesser amount of money on a much more powerful (but less portable) computer, such as a decent used desktop. That was your choice. Because of that choice, there is some software you will not be able to run. Once again, you are faced with a choice: you can accept that your preference for portability, size, and battery life will preclude you running that software, or you can bawl like a toddler throwing a tantrum in Wal-Mart. You picked the tantrum. And you wonder why people react as though you're a spoiled little child?

Yes, a lot of people here have ebook readers and several computers. Me, for instance. We make our choices. I don't have cable TV. I drive a 20-year-old car. I repair things myself, usually until they fall apart. Splurging on clothes involves a new pair of jeans from a discount store when the old ones have holes. I don't go to movies, concerts, or nice restaurants. I have "lots of toys" because there are lots of other things that most people take for granted that I don't have. It's a choice I've made.

And you made your choices. You chose to whine.
