The Republic will endure until Congress finds it can bribe the public with the public's money. – Alexis de Tocqueville

So I got a ridiculous email offer for a Verizon Gateway LT netbook for $29.00.

Needless to say, I purchased the crap out of it.

It is a 1.66Ghz, 1GB ram, Win XP machine with Microsoft Office 2007, 10 inch screen, and built in 3G.

Twenty Nine Bucks.

I nearly sprained my ankle trying to get to the nearest computer so I could order mine. It arrived today, and is not a disappointment.

I plan to carry it with me 24/7 to take care of IHS tech support stuff, which is pretty much always requested at the most inopportune times.

I installed my Macromedia Studio Suite (Dreamweaver, Flash, etc), Firefox, Filezilla, and Putty, so I can pretty much manage IHS completely off this thing.

For 29 bucks.

Did I mention it was 29 bucks?

I would have bought 50 of them, but it was limit one.
