Chairlifts and Retail [Fun]

Up, up went the (free) chairlift to the peak of Mount Washington today. It was my first time to this mountain. Though there was no snow, it was cold enough to remind me of what to pack for my upcoming winter travels (namely, a good toque and lots of layers).
Turns out my mother is a bit nervous about chairlifts. I love my sister's giggle. And my father's smile.

Netbook or NOTbook?
Later in the afternoon, I dragged my sister out to Future Shop with me to browse their netbooks. I'd done my research and was under the impression that all models offered pretty much the same thing. I went with the cheapest one (Acer's 11.6" Aspire One) and am in the midst of testing it out now. I have under two weeks before I leave for Europe. I have a few issues with it, but so far it connects to the Internet well enough, and I can blog pretty well; the keys are a happy size for my fingers and the whole things is pretty damn light (2.7 lbs). I'll have my verdict before I leave.
