Both are free, and great. If you like video try zml.com or upstreamtv. Netbooks are filling the gaps for many users, as netcentric computing gets bigger, so will netbooks. I use a Full size laptop HP HDX, but I am considering a HP Mini 311 with 320GB and 3GB Ram, in a netbook running Windows 7. Almost forgot, if you like games try gog, and wildtangent. Have any questions or comments, hit me up on twitter. djsolutions</p> As for as media goes don’t forget Pandora, for online music, and if you like even more defined music list and top 100 playlist, try nutsie.

While Chrome is a very advanced and speedy browser, the plug-ins for Firefox provide endless productivity and expansion. IF you're a blogger, check out ScribeFire. For GTD, there is ahwole library of Apps. Firefox, if anything, helps you to consolidate your goals into the browser. And hopefully, you'll be taking advantage of cloud computing on your netbook anyway, so the browser is the most important entity.
