Would a netbook be good for web surfing and spreadsheet management?
I am looking at some of the inexpensive netbooks, and trying to figure out if it is worth it. Here is what I need t to be able to do:
Surf the net
Use Y! Messenger
Use basic spreadsheet program for home business
Play some online games (pokerstars.net, yahoo games, etc)
I know some of them don’t use windows, but use a different OS (linux?). Would this be an issue with what I am wanting to do?
Jere answers:
Surfing and games, yes. Spreadsheets, no. The screen is too small and you’d have to magnify the spreadsheets quite a bit to work with them which would cause it to be very slow to work with them.

How much truth is there to the real money people earn from online games such as Second Life and others?
I’ve always heard of these people who make a ton of money through online games Second Life and others. Has anyone ever heard any truth to these and if so what games were they connected to?
Jere answers:
It’s true. I know some folks in Second Life that are making a lot of real life money in the game, but for these people it’s more than just a game. They have their own business set up in Second Life and they treat it like a job. They also put in a lot of time and money keeping up the business.
If you’re serious about making money you can do it, but just realize that it isn’t as easy as snapping your fingers and the cash rolls in. It requires a lot of knowledge about content creation or ingame real estate and you need to spend the hours supporting your business just like you would spend time at your real life job.
