My daughter started fourth grade today (and I don’t know who’s happier me or her). I’m looking at the supply list she brought home and we have items like colored pencils, notebooks, glue sticks, folders, and…a USB drive. Wow, really? Of course it makes sense, almost all schools have some type of computer lab or class (no matter how lame, but that’s for another post). I just wasn’t ready for it this soon I guess. Maybe somewhere towards high school.
So, the next question I have is how long before computers are required for kids going to school? Are they required at your kids’ school? My daughter’s been eying my netbook for sometime; it’s just her size. I will get her one eventually, but Heaven help me if her school required it now. “Mom, it’s got to be pink! Megan’s got a pink one!”

I love this netbook. Its small enough that i can take it anywhere but not so
small that i cant see the screen. I adapted very well to the keys that are
smaller and closer together.. and dont have any problems with it. Everything
loads up quickly and the colors are great. The battery does die out rather
quickly but that is why it is good to bring the charger with you when you go
places.. the webcam works nicely too. I definitely recommend it to anyone who is
under a budget and needs a laptop.
