My netbook has arrived! And the case thing I ordered and my external DVD drive thing. I have finally, after many months of dealing with my laptop’s manifold issues, reached a point where I have basically full functionality again. On everything! I can watch DVDs, listen to CDs, carry a functioning laptop with me, get things to work that don’t work properly on Linux. The woes that were caused by tea being spilt on my laptop have finally been more or less mended!

I haven’t had a lot of chance to play with the netbook yet, but I am pleased with it so far, and will have a more thorough review in the future. I did play with XP and give it most of the settings I’ve had forever (on my old XP machine, which is virus-infested and as such I haven’t managed to salvage the data yet). There is just no wireless in my dorm so I haven’t had the opportunity to log on to the interwebs and really play around and buy Diablo. I think that will be my activity for tomorrow.
