I've never been a fan of netbooks.
My 6GB RAM Core 2 Duo laptop fits on my lap on the bus, *AND* I can run
3-4 1GB virtual machines on it simultaneously along with many of my
normal apps with no slowdown.

I've not been a fan of laptops because they are so heavy and lost
a couple due to dropping them.
Netbooks are a different beast with Linux on them.
They slip inside my coat pocket and resume near instantly
when I open the lid. So as I catch tube and trains, its
nothing like a laptop when it comes to convenience.
Having tranlucent 3D compiz desktop means you can work
on several projects at the same time.
And it don't run out of juice if the journey is more
than a couple of hours. With SSDs fitted, there is no worry about
breakage of moving parts and disks.

I've routinely get 3.5 hours runtime on my Dell Mini9... what's the runtime
on your speed boat?

I get close to that on my IBM Thinkpad.

Of course - on a bus you can roast your nuts with it as well
if you are forced to operate it with it on your lap.

Really? So you increase RAM to 6Gb and you got 6 hours of operation was it?

Wow. We're all so scared of microwave radiation these days, eh? Not like
a laptop even has a killswitch for the wireless when you're on a bus or
whatever is it?

Usually about 2 and a half. Though it's starting to drop because the
battery is starting to go on its way out.

And Terry Porter "claims" that after 4+ hours on his Linux netbook the
battery still has more than 50% power remaining. And this is on a netbook
where the manufacturer gives a (optimal) battery rating of 3 hours.
Then there's the other idiot who claimed that he gets something like 9
hours of battery life on his full sized laptop... only when he runs Linux
of course.
Some of the battery life claims that "advocates" come up with are
/unbelievable./

Be careful, Ben, 7 is dead-on about nut-roaster laptops!
Proof!
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2002/11/22/man_burns_penis_with_laptop/
The next day he noticed irritation and oedema of his penile prepuce.
Furthermore, the ventral part of his scrotal skin had turned red, and
there was a blister with a diameter of about 2 cm. These findings were
verified when I saw the patient 1 day later. There were no signs of
phimosis or balanitis. The patient recalled that, while sitting 2 days
earlier with his computer on his lap, he occasionally had felt heat and a
burning feeling on his lap and proximal thigh, a sensation that was
relieved at least temporarily when the computer was moved slightly.
After the first 2 days, the penile and scrotal blisters broke and
developed into infected wounds that caused extensive suppuration. More
than a week later, the wounds were covered by dry crusts and thereafter
were healing quite rapidly. No antibiotic treatment was needed.
Windows will burn your penis!!!!

More serious than that - a few hours of roasting on a long
bus journey will render your nuts sterile - its a one
time permanent effect.
Your roasted nuts are no use to girl friends or squirrels.

I get 8 hours on my SSD 40Gb EEE. And more if I close the lid because
I need to lunch. It must really suck to be a windump loser.
There is no way to trust micoshaft marketing plops to discuss
anything here with decent Desktop Linux technology related stories.
Whatever they rant on about, and post pointers to, it is clear they have no
understanding of Linux to engage in a decent technical conversation
involving Linux.
Here look some interesting Linux commands:
ping _google.com
Can you guess what that command does?
It 'pings' the website google.com.
It makes sure the network connections and DNS functions to the real
internet is working.
(remove underscore from google.com if you really want to ping google!)
It can also be used to check which web sites and PCs on the network are up
to diagnose networking problems.

No you dingbat.
3.5hr run time.

Terry Porter's watch, like everything else he owns, is probably
defective.
I get somewhere near 3.0 - 3.5 (stretching it) hours with my
Thinkpad. It all depends upon what I am doing and how the power
settings are configured. In heavy use I get about 2.0 hours.
The Linux loons just make up numbers and expect people to
believe them.

Any evidence for that claim?

You need a new battery then. It's cheaper than a new laptop.

7 is like Al Franken (whom I find mostly amusing, by the way).
Al mixes parody and fact a lot, so that you have to be perceptive.
I think he does that to toe the line on libel laws.
7 does it because he's zany.

No he doesn't.

Failing that ask your girl friends.
And failing that google is your friend.

No, wait, you're trying to prove something to me. The burden of proof is
on you to get me the evidence that laptops/netbooks can boil your balls.
