Tallahassee Genealogical Society Seeks Local Stories For New Book

Want a $50 Laptop Computer? But there’s a Catch
I have written before about “netbook” computers. See my earlier article at http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/2008/12/is-a-400-netboo.html. These are tiny laptop computers, typically weighing 2 1/2 pounds or less. Capabilities vary, but most of them are capable of running modern genealogy programs on Windows XP or on Linux. I even modified one of these tiny computers to run the Macintosh OS X operating system.
