I do agree that netbooks should come with SSDs rather than HDDs, but the fact of the matter is, good SSDs that can perform on par with HDDs cost an arm and a leg, which really defeats the secondary purpose of a netbook: low cost. Until you can get around a 20gb SSD that costs little, can randomly read and write ~4KB files and can do at least 30MB/s in normal writing, HDDs are the way to go.

It's not; just the Canadian/international versions. I just felt like saying that because I also have a Canadian AAO and weird shaped keys annoy me.

Yeah I know how that feels. Last time I was inside I snapped off a little bit of the frame, that goodness for JB weld.
