Death of the American.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Well, that was a nice five weeks. My beautiful, sweet, darling little friend, lover and companion, the Dell Mini 9, just let its magic smoke out — as in, an actual delicate little curl of white smoke from the adapter socket and an electrical burnt plastic smell — courtesy the third-party adapter blowing out and TAKING THE LAPTOP WITH IT.

ARSING ARSEBISCUITS WITH EXTRA ARSE AND A SIDE ORDER OF IMPOTENT AND PUSTULENT CHANCROUS COCKS. As they say, don't you know.

This particularly pisses me off because no-one — including Dell — seems to make a 9" netbook. They're all 10" now. The Mini 9 was pretty much the perfect form factor. A Mini 10 is just way too big, quite apart from using the BEHEAD ALL THOSE WHO ADVOCATE POULSBO chipset.

(And I can't work from home until I get a replacement either. Having given up my cruddy work laptop for a desktop at the office.)

So. Does anyone make a 9" netbook these days?
