untethered

I've gone over to the small side. Yesterday's and today's posts have been brought to you from a Dell Mini 9, like the one in the picture. (Disclosure: that's not my lap.)

Dell Mini 9

It's a teeny sucker with a 9" screen and a smaller than standard keyboard. I got mine with 1GB ram and a 16GB flash hard drive. I primarily wanted it to load my photos on for printing on my printer in the basement but this little sucker does more than that. It's billed as a Netbook for internet surfing but it runs Photoshop and Dreamweaver just fine. I wouldn't want this as a primary computer but it makes a great second computer to my desktop. And it's so small and light weight. Very portable! I have a wireless router hooked to my desktop so I can share files, DVD drives (this doesn't have an internal DVD or CD drive), and printer. Cool!
