Smarty has it right. I can sit on the couch with a cat on my lap, the

I've got a dog on my lap right now, but I do have to wear my reading
glasses. My laptop is usually active when I'm watching TV.

Using dialup, I can usually get
on line in a little over one minute and go right to my email list.

Damn kids made me get Roadrunner years ago. I was never impatient

I can
send and receive photos and even spellcheck. I have a computer (Dell
desktop with Windows Vista) but find it slow and difficult so I never
use it.

Check out the netbooks. I got an Acer Aspire for my wife last year &
she loves it.
