The netbook I have is an Asus eeepc.(900 i think) It's the second one I've owned so far in the past 5 years. I still see that brand of netbooks in stores. Aren't they just like laptops, only cheaper and lower CPU etc? Tablets may be the new gizmo du jour, but I can't see them taking over... to me they seem to be like a different thing altogether for different functions. This is an actual computer with Debian Linux installed on it, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I most certainly hope I'll still be able to have a netbook a few years down the road. I've yet to meet a tablet that I'd drop my precious eeepc for.
