Netbook, Back in Action

My ASUS Eee PC 1000 series netbook has been afflicted…

I somehow contracted some nasty malware, and I’m not sure how it happened. I don’t really venture outside of my select few sites, I wasn’t downloading masses of unknown applications by shady vendors or creators of questionable reliability…

But it happened.

And I learned something — it’s easy to take a built-in DVD-drive for granted… easy to forget that it’s not there, too. The first thing I thought after removable attempts failed was, “Oh well, I can just use the recovery DVD and reinstall everything,” and then I remembered — I lack the drive.

I hadn’t the time to try and remove the malware for a while, working on my new project. With web 2.0’s mass over-proliferation of mediocre “personal blogs” — including this one — it became clear to me that, in order to stand out, I’d have to have something different… better.

Right now, I’m happy to have use of my mini-machine again. Now if I could just find a decent writing program for Windows… (on par with Scrivener, Copywrite and WriteRoom)
