@palomakop OMG I LOVED THAT ERA OF THOSE THINGS

middle school me would go to Target/Walmart/Best Buy/etc. and just gawk at how this Nerd OS I was running on my desktop at home finally made it "to the mainstream" on adorably tiny, affordable computers. I think being in such awe at netbooks then is why I still, to this day, typically prefer <13" laptops. 12.3" 3:2 with minimal bezels (so... basically Surface Laptop Go, tbqh) is like my ideal form factor in some ways.
