Did I buy something a couple of weeks ago that will improve my life? I don't know yet, we'll just have to wait and see. What I bought is an HP net book in pink! It comes with its own pink and black sleeve, Windows 7 Starter, Adobe PSE 8.0 and various other software packages. The only thing it doesn't come with is a CD/DVD drive. The software came on a little bitty disc like cameras use. Fortunately, I already have an external CD/DVD burner drive. Sigh, another thing bought on a whim. I haven't used this much since I got my new desktop computer earlier in the year.
The net book is the cutest little thing ever. It comes with Wi-Fi and a webcam. Gee, I don't know anyone else who has a webcam, and I'm not even sure what Wi-Fi is or how to use it. I do know I don't want another monthly charge on top of my DSL. I'm told I can go to Burger King or Starbucks and latch onto their Wi-Fi system so I may do that for updates and such.
The reason I bought the net book is so that I can do my digital layouts in PSE8.0 while watching TV or out on the deck . That way I am not holed up in my office room all by myself feeling isolated from hubba. Has anyone else ever bought anything on a whim? I'm sure I can't be the only one to do this. Let's hope I'm happy after having the net book for a while.

Oh, I love that laptop! I buy things on a whim sometimes.....they have turned out to be some of my best purchases!And I love QVC:)
I love QVC and my Hp mini!! It's perfect to surf while I drink my morning coffee and blog read! Enjoy!
I'm constantly buying things on a whim......and try and avoid shopping channels for that very reason!!!!
That netbook is absolutely adorable - but it is powerful enough to run PSE8??? If it is .... I WANT ONE!!!
I was just thinking the same thing as Cheri - it can run PSE8? If so, I'll be getting one of those, too!
I try not to impulse buy, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't do it.
Sophie and Cheri, I've played a bit with PSE8 on the net book and it seems OK. Maybe Windows 7 uses RAM differently than XP or Vista -- I sure hope so because they are RAM eaters.
Just stopping by to say hi. We were class mates and playmates over at Jessica Sprague :)
