Sprint seems to be making a big push in the last 12 months or so to regain market share. Very aggressive pricing, expansion of services, and sweet phones. Definitely good for the market place, and the consumer as well (if it compels other carriers to follow suit).

All five bodies should be visible tonight again. Make sure you have a clear view of the west as the sun sets. Venus will come into view first. Mercury will appear shortly after at about the "4 o'clock" position from Venus not quite half way to the horizon.
I saw Jupiter in the east this morning just before the sunrise. It's quite far away right now. There's the 93M miles from us to the sun and then its own 483M miles from that, for a total of 576M miles.
Speaking of netbooks, anyone try to connect to a citrix or remote desktop server through a wireless connection with one? Did it work as well ad a laptop?
Yes and it works just fine for the most part, I even run RDP off my blackberry (scrolling around sucks).
The only wireless issues a citrix or a RDP can have are typically off of satellite connections due to the ridiculous latency.
Remember the usage of the term netbooks and mini-note is becoming a muddled too.
A netbook has an embedded OS and typically will not have a hard drive.
a mini is a regular PC that doesn't have an optical drive and only will support 2GB of RAM. OS is not embedded.
Most of what people are buying and calling a netbook are a mini.
T-Mobile's selected CTIA 2010 this week as the venue to launch its customized version of Dell's Mini 10 netbook that's been infused with -- you guessed it -- T-Mobile-compatible 3G service. It's got a 10.1-inch WSVGA display, 1.3 megapixel webcam, three USB ports, VGA port, Windows 7 Starter Edition, and an Atom N450 core humming along at 1.66GHz with a claimed battery life of "up to" eight hours using a six-cell 56WHr pack. In terms of frequencies, you've got quadband EDGE alongside quadband (yes, quadband) 3G with support for Bands I, II, IV, and V, which means you'll be able to roam in 850 / 1900MHz markets and internationally. It's available starting tomorrow in "select T-Mobile retail locations" in Chicago, Dallas, Miami, and Los Angeles as well as through the carrier's site and sales hotline for $199.99 on a two-year deal.
when you say true netbooks lack a hard drive, do you mean they have solid state instead?
#1. There is nothing wrong with the computers you pointed out, I was just trying to show SLF that they were Mini's and you can load any citrix or basically any software you need that is compatible with the OS.
There isn't any true hard and fast laws so as I said this is muddled.
Netbooks typically have RAM memory with persistent memory (aka 128MB, 512MB, 20GB) rather than a spindle disk (SAS, SCSI, PATA, SATA) or SSD (Solid State).
It is very tough to find a netbook anymore since they introduced the atom processor and many users complained about the netbook performance.
The original netbooks from ASUS had a odd processor 10GB of RAM that you had to load the OS and Applications on, a very fuzzy 8 - 11 inch screen with a cheap keyboard.
The new mini's have come down to the prices of those netbooks and have effectively replaced them.
