I love Doctor Who (only with David Tenant though). But Torchwood soundtrack is even better.<br /><br />Matt - a pillow named pillow. That's so cute. I haven't set up Finn on our home network, it's not connected to our router either, and I have deleted all short-cuts icons for Internet and network connections, so while it won't be impossible to connect, it will take a bit of faffing about. Besides, I think since I have made up my mind from the beginning that Finn will be used only for writing, I should be okay.<br /><br />HD,<br />Yes, I did think Acer was worth being in final three. But because I also put emphasis on "pretty" computer, so just went for the shiny. So frivolous I know :P ...never to late to name your Netbook now.Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08144739453424963436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828727132315088852.post-88163253882248028552009-10-24T02:29:50.339+01:002009-10-24T02:29:50.339+01:00I went with the Acer, as you know, but Finn's ...I went with the Acer, as you know, but Finn's pretty gorgeous, I have to say.

Many congratulations - if you're like me at all (which it seems you are at least a little), that little machine is going to revolutionize your writing. Many happy words to the both of you! :-)Jamie D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05486427517423813962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828727132315088852.post-86695596692502742812009-10-23T16:13:05.020+01:002009-10-23T16:13:05.020+01:00Ali, nice to know I am not the only one who names ...Ali, nice to know I am not the only one who names a computer :P. What size model do you have? I know a while ago, 7 to 9 inches netbooks were popular, so I guess their keyboards are probably much smaller. Mine is 10 inches, so the keyboard size is only 8% less than regular keyboard, which is fine for me.<br /><br />Adam,<br />Thank you. I hope Finn and I will have a long and happy relationship too. I guess there are some disadvantages to being a man. I guess for most tallish men, netbooks would be a nightmare, especially since you are a writer. I do always tell my husband - when he calls me short - that good things come in small packages ;)Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08144739453424963436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828727132315088852.post-60456466338232897742009-10-23T16:03:19.758+01:002009-10-23T16:03:19.758+01:00Ooh, love the EEEs. :-)

Most regular sized laptop keyboards are a little small for me, never mind one of those. ;)<br /><br />I wish you and Finn a long and happy relationship!<br /><br />AdamAdamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18041390205721204791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828727132315088852.post-5170340399600360312009-10-23T15:39:24.979+01:002009-10-23T15:39:24.979+01:00I have an Asus eee PC too (I'm not sure which ...I have an Asus eee PC too (I'm not sure which model.) Mine is red and I named her "Enid". I thought a netbook would be a good "writing buddy" too. But I stopped using it because I find it frustrating to type on the tiny keyboard. <br /><br />I think disabling the Internet access is a really good idea! If I give Enid another shot, I think I'll have to do that, too.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16848422559492064075noreply@blogger.com
