To be blunt..... yes, Netbooks are Junky
In regards to the hardware and capabilities that are in them. I am sorry, but 6 hours of battery life is NOT enough for me to leave out the ability to play non-******** games, i.e. RealArcade, GameHouse and Reflexive games.

These things are ONLY good for people who are ABSOLUTELY SURE that they will be doing nothing but e-mail, internet browsing, and maybe photo collecting, online or offline.

Those are the only people that netbooks are good for.
