Netbooks have their place, and they're certainly *cool*.
But I can't imagine anyone actually using one as a "primary" computer. They are powerful enough, and one can adapt to the smaller keyboard if your hands are small. But the big problem that you can't really adapt to is screen size. On the 9" netbooks I've used, even surfing sites like CNN or this board were an exercise in scrolling patience.
I would think that trying to compose any sort of decently-sized Word or Excel document would be maddening after a short time.
