I thought about that, but I'm not good enough with Linux.

What kind of OS and specs do netbooks have? I'd be happy send you a check for one.

This one has an Atom processor at 1.6 GHz and Windows 7. I'd wipe it clean except for the OS and send it to ya.

It's really not as tough as it used to be. A buddy of mine has been out of computing for 25+ years, and he's hard up for cash these days and mostly gets people's old computers for free, but didn't want to pirate Windows and had no money licenses, so I turned him onto Linux and it's blown his mind laugh out loud

Thank goodness Linux finally smoothed out all the GUI portions of WPA2 wireless security a few years ago.

So my 'vacation' has been downgraded from getting some sun and bonding with the girls to just trying to not say or do anything I will have to make an amends for later... I'm leaving in 9 days.

I wonder where JME has gone off to?

I actually run WEP Hide
Originally it was because that's all the DS would support, and I've just been too lazy to update all the devices in the house laugh out loud
But I had someone at my house actively trying to hack it, and they didn't get in.

Nine days on the beach in the sun next to a juice bar doesn't sound so bad. Wink
