So, yeah… that’s a line from the animated flick, Despicable Me (still showing as of this post). It was so easy to fall for that big-eyed, little girl Agnes who threw this question at the main character, Gru (a huge guy with long, slender legs who lives in a spooky house, drives a rocket car, and carries a retractable blaster and freeze ray in his pocket).

I recently sold my Neo Basic B3300 netbook, less than a month after buying it.

Not that I don’t want to share my own experience here, but I think there are more entertaining topics to talk about for the next five minutes. Although I cannot guarantee you that you will have a good time, I just hope that you will at least stay awake until the end of this crappy post. So here I begin.
