i'd just like to make you aware of http://www.google.com/notebook/

i've been using a simple text file on my desktop for noting things but this is just perfect.

Google Notebook has finally arrived. What is it? Google calls it "an online 'notebook' where you can organize all your research, add personal notes to it, and share it with others," and this is an apt description. A more technical description might describe Google Notebook as a kind of "web clipboard," inasmuch as you can "cut and paste" links, text, images, etc., into your online notebook.

Except for that little bit about Google never going into the operating system business.

Why bother? all they have to do is offer all the functionality of an OS online, and then sell dumb terminals.

The top-end Vista reportedly requires a gig of RAM just for the OS. There must be a point coming where people aren't going to want all these bells and whistles, given the price of them.

i don't think it's that much of a problem. by the time vista comes out hardware will be still cheaper than today and oems will bundle different versions of vista with different configurations, i suppose. i don't think most people upgrade pcs anyway, they just buy a new machine with everything preinstalled.
