Yep! A new netbook, much better than the old!
Well I do a lot of traveling (flying to and back to sydney from brisbane every 3 weeks) and I can't lug my computer around with me everywhere, so I decided this time last year to get a netbook, 10.1" 1GB 120GB Gateway netbook, and whenever I came down here I would use that for my portable flash work, but I noticed that I couldn't do much 'cuz of its low resolution, I had a stage size of 480x272 and with small icons but I still was missing part of the stage.
I now bought a Lenovo X100e with a 1366x768 screen and over 4 hrs of battery life!
ok well its an 11.6" screen so technically speaking its not a netbook, but instead a really small notebook. Anyway its still small enough for travel and I love it to death!!!

I downloaded and installed the firefox 4 beta/release candidate today and I seem to like it, the only thing I have to say is that I think they tried to copy chrome too much, now it looks more like chrome than anything else, but I found a few pros and cons of the new version
Pro's
+Faster
+Better Win7 features
+Lighter
Con's
-New format, kinda hard to find things.
-Plug ins not compatible
-Typing into the address bar doesn't use Google 'I'm feeling lucky'
But other than that its allright! Reccommended still!

Ok, I'm doing it, I'm biting the bullet and *GULP* learning AS3
For those wondering AS3 stands for ActionScript 3.0, its the programming language that you use to make flash games
I have been using AS2 since 2005 when I was just 10 but since like 2008 or 2009 AS3 was introduced, I thought to myself 'Oh yeah, I'll just learn that' but its a lot harder than you think, its like speaking english for 6 years then suddenly learning japanese (well maybe not that hard) I have been slowly learning PARTS of AS3 that is in AS2.
Wish me luck guys! The next game is in AS3!!!!
