Sounds like this would be great for hurricane evacuation. Take your cell phone and little computer with you...

Not too sure about LGs. If you have a PDA with an internet connection, you can find a third party program to brigde the gap without paying any extra charge.

Mac user here too.
Really been wanting a netbook to take on trips.
Got a MacBook Pro, but I find it's a little too big to carry on long trips and too pricey to lose.
I'd like to get something very small, stable and not too pricey. Just something to surf and perhaps watch Netflix.
I am not computer savvy at all, so I'd like something that is simple to use.
Been thinking about this:
ASUS Eee PC 901, but not certain I want to go out and get it yet.
So, may I ask what you have and what you might recommend for a total non geek?

Rip your movies to mpeg4 and you won’t need the DVD player at all.

That looks like a winner, Mary. I think that’s as good as you can get. I have an Acer One netbook, which has a ‘hundred and change’ gig hard drive (that I don’t really use), and no built in bluetooth (easily remedied).
If I were looking for another one, I’d probably go for the one you’ve picked.
However, you do know netbooks don’t have a built in dvd/cd drive, right? If you’re going to netflix, it will have to be the download kind. Also, the windows xp home OS is a plus. Many of the netbooks are linux, so not real friendly to the total non geek.
It ain’t a Mac, but it ain’t sixteen hundred bucks, either.
