The rise and popularity of the new netbook computers has been quite remarkable. Can't remember the last time a new classification in computing has had such a favorable impact in a market thought to be saturated. But there's something about netbooks that attracts people. I'm not exactly sure what that is yet. I can't tell if they're a novelty or have what it takes to stay for years to come. They might last, as more applications go web-based and rely less on the client's processing power, low powered devices might become more mainstream. But that's the nerd in me talking. Netbook screens are a bit small for my liking, perhaps a new breed of notebook computers will come out with a web centric operating system and we won't have to rely on these small devices. We'll see.
