New tools

It's always fun to get a new tool. You immediately start to put it to use, and to see what new capabilities it offers. So it is with my new Acer Aspire One netbook. It's really tiny, and I did opt to pay the Microsoft tax, in exchange for knowing that it'll do everything I want, albeit slower than previously.

So far, I've removed most of the bloatware that comes with it. I am wondering why they put a DVD player program on it, as it doesn't have an optical drive... but such is life.
