When my little sister went off to college this year, she went with a 10 inch netbook. Atom processor, 1gb ram, 160gb HD. Running Win7 home premium.
Makes me feel damn old.

Haha! I know exactly what you mean. I look at my 16gig microSD card and I am AMAZED (the thing is the size of my thumbnail!!!!). Literally. I remember being stoked to have an original pentium running at 166mhz. I still think it's crazy how that was enough to enjoyably play the original half-life...makes me think programmers write sloppy code these days. I remember when your hard-drive was the loudest thing in your case, you knew your computer was working because you could hear it (or that it had frozen in some kind of infinite HD retrieval death scenario).
@shikem - I get most of my movies from torrents. I use a private invite only site. Everything is clean, it rocks. Google bit torrent sites and I'm sure you'd be able to find any movie or show you could possibly want. Even Citizen Kane.
