"Oh, help...."
Asus has a pink netbook....
Brief at-a-glance, Asus is cheaper and better, but Acer has a higher resolution screen. Hrm.
Need a new (cheap) netbook? Recommend? Advise?

Grrr. The pink one only has 1 GB of RAM, which requires complete disassembly to upgrade.

I can get the pink upped to 2 GB RAM for about $75. Only problem is vendor. Newegg's dead pixel policy stinks.

I think I found it. It's an Acer Aspire One, almost exactly like my lost one, except:
a) it's got DDR3 instead of DDR2
b) it's burgundy red in color

Hey, those are some good prices on that shopping list.

Moar.
Meritline goes straight on the credit card. The $800 Newegg order is 12 months interest free financing. And the $291 Newegg order is 6 months interest free.

I think I ordered too many flash drives. "Stocking stuffers."

Gar. gar. gar.
They were out-of-stock on the netbook I ordered and didn't send me any notice that it was cancelled, which resulted in cancellation of the entire $500+ order. So I've just spent 2 hours and $200 more to rectify the situation. (I'm still waiting on one piece. A USB NIC that's now @ $20, but was at $15. They gave me $20 off my next order already, but I'm trying to play them a little by asking them to give me the NIC for free. Wait and see, wait and see.)
ETA: Drat! They initially offered me a $15 gift card. Then she read the notes and emailed me back telling me to suck eggs. Oh well, can't fault a girl for trying.....
