Comments on: Why I Disagree with TechCrunch’s 3 Anti-Netbook Points http://www.mobileviews.com/blog/2008/11/29/why-i-disagree-with-techcrunchs-3-anti-netbook-points/ All Things Mobile and Wireless Thu, 11 Mar 2010 07:08:07 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Sherry Hooker http://www.mobileviews.com/blog/2008/11/29/why-i-disagree-with-techcrunchs-3-anti-netbook-points/comment-page-1/#comment-502852 Sherry Hooker Sun, 28 Jun 2009 23:46:06 +0000 http://www.mobileviews.com/blog/?p=964#comment-502852 I really enjoyed your take on Michael Arrington's article. There are a lot of us out here that aren't techno-geeks. We don't need a lot of bells and whistles. In fact I would be tickled pink if my desktop pc was more basic. I'm sure there's others like myself, whose concern with price has to do with the fact that to keep up, computers must be replaced every couple years. For those of us who came along before technology, we like... No, we LOVE simplicity-- phones that let us communicate, that don't play 1000 tunes, 500 games, or is an office in the palm of our hand;televisions that we can turn on, pick a channel, and watch-- without a hundred music channels we pay for, but never use; computers that let us surf the net, keep in touch with friends without using snail-mail, and type on a keyboard without the 30 extra keys we don't touch. Ahh--Simplicity. I really enjoyed your take on Michael Arrington’s article. There are a lot of us out here that aren’t techno-geeks. We don’t need a lot of bells and whistles.

I’m sure there’s others like myself, whose concern with price has to do with the fact that to keep up, computers must be replaced every couple years. For those of us who came along before technology, we like… No, we LOVE simplicity– phones that let us communicate, that don’t play 1000 tunes, 500 games, or is an office in the palm of our hand;televisions that we can turn on, pick a channel, and watch– without a hundred music channels we pay for, but never use; computers that let us surf the net, keep in touch with friends without using snail-mail, and type on a keyboard without the 30 extra keys we don’t touch.
