subsidized by phone carriers the way Sony and HP netbooks have been for some
time now.

except, of course, they're not stuck at 3.5 hours. if you chose to
pay more, you can get it w/ a extended battery that has- are you

You mean "subsidized" like the iPhone?

You mean a point you can see with your eyes shut, and your fingers in your
ears, while you yell "la la la la la...!" ? That's too tall of an order.

> That Apple still doesn't make netbooks?

That others have been doing for years what was only your dream for Apple.

> I might care, if I had any interest in buying one.

Yet you were interested enough in them to build a castle in the air for
Apple.
