Netbooks at a local Starbucks
Hi everyone,
Just came back from a local Starbucks. I hate their coffee but love their Signature Hot Chocolate. It's a cold, rainy craptacular day, and a dose of Starbucks Signature Hot Chocolate was in order. As I waited for one of the staff to make my hot chocolate, I couldn't help but observe a slew of people tapping away on their notebook computers. Ten to be exact.
One of the ten had a full size laptop. It was a 17" MacBook Pro. No mistaking it even from a distance. Of the rest, eight had netbooks and one had a 12" Ibook G4. Again, it was impossible to mistake the netbooks for a larger notebook computer and there was no mistaking the 12" Ibook.
They all seemed to be very happy with their computers and those with netbooks appeared to have no trouble whatsoever slaving away at the keyboards. It almost makes me want to buy a Dell Mini 9 to replace my Winbook craptop even though I don't need a new notebook computer right now. It'd just be nice to have a very small laptop that can run OS X.
