Ideas always come to me

You’re happy cause you smile,
but how much can you fake?

So ideas seem to hit me at the worst moments possible, But this one is a good one.

Let’s start off with a couple insights:

1. People like vintage stuff, moreso now than ever
2. People are going nuts over these netbooks, for good reason

A netbook is simply a smaller version of the laptop computer. It’s 7-11" across and only weighs between 1-3 pounds. The purpose of which, is to have an ultra lightweight, ultra mobile wifi ready office/school/leisure computer. It re-defines portable connectivety in a big, yet small, way.

The majority of these things have SSD (solid state drives, basic flash memory with no moving parts) instead of hard drives, and no optical drive, resulting in a power usage saving of nearly 80%. This makes hi-tech batteries last longer, and power consumption go further than ever before.

So here’s an idea:

Ebay is full of vintage laptops. For hella cheap. $25-$50 for complete, working-but-old models. This is the beauty of it all. You can buy these things by the  LOT, recondition them (with the help of cheap parts from DX ) to run flash memory as the main storage, remove all optical/hard drive/etc, Which is a simple job (again, DX parts, cheap!)

then you pop win CE on there, paint those bastards up or let them be, either way, they’ll sell on ebay for 150-200 dollars.

Shit. It’s a crazy, crazy world.

What is making you feel so insecure you have to nitpick others, (and ppl you don’t know, and about simple things like spaces between paragraphs,,,, is your life truely that pointless? I feel sorry for you,,,,stay out,,,, you simply don’t have the mentality to grip what I’m saying. I noticed you had nothing intelligent to say even having to do with the subject…so whatever,,, moving on!
