A month ago I bought a netbook (Eee PC 1000HA) from a friend for a very reasonable price (thanks a lot Chris!). After exclusively been using Mac hardware for about 4 years, I am now once again in possession of a PC computer. To summarize my feelings; I’m loving it!

I previously wrote about security and privacy issues regarding changing from a desktop based way of working to a web based system. It’s absolutely not all that bad. In fact I am in favor of using web applications for work. There’s a lot of advantages and it creates loads of new possibilities, especially if you have limited resources.
