Hardware, Embedded Systems There's a new hype going on in the world of computing. I used to call them 'tiny laptops', but somewhere along the way, Intel's marketing got at me and now I call them netbooks. Every self-respecting manufacturer has a netbook product line, or is about to introduce one (Apple?), so I figured I would take a look at what all the fuss is about: I bought a netbook.

You're confusing reads and writes.

Ah yes, that's it.

Makes me wonder though if the limited number of writes could become a problem after all (if it's mainly small files).
But whatever, it doesn't cost a fortune and it fails rather gracefully (on writes instead of on reads).
