Yes they do. I looked at 2 of them today at Best Buy. One was $300 and the other $400. Convenient I guess, if you don't have anything to do anything but get on the net.
This is why I bought a BlackBerry. I was lusting after a net notebook I saw at a store (it was so cute, it was so light!) and I said to myself, "Self, you need something practical. Get that BlackBerry." Especially since I wanted a HP 1000 Mini Vivienne Tam edition with the AMAZING fuschia fabric cover. (Fuschia is my favorite color.) http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/sh...i1000vt_series
By comparison, the BlackBerry was more practical. I can receive phone calls on it!
And yes, I have read AFF on my new BlackBerry.
One thing that really *amazes* me (as someone who has had some sort of computer in her home since 1987) is how TINY storage has gotten. I put a 2 GB card in the BlackBerry and the card is as small as the nail on my thumb and only cost me $30. My first computer hard drive had 40 MB, and came in a computer with 1 MB of RAM, an amber monitor and a 1200 baud modem. It set me back $1000 in 1990 dollars. (That wasn't my first computer. My first computer was a Morrow CP/M I stole from my father for law school and it had a whopping 64K of RAM). But I still miss my WordStar software. Miss, miss, miss.
These days, a can opener has more memory than my first computer with a hard drive (a joke, but not awfully far from the truth).
Ah, memories!

I predict that they will replace the traditional HD eventually. The price will come down and they will get bigger.
The MacBook Air wasn't a big hit though. It's $2600 for the config of my MacBook Pro! Way too steep for me
I saw one of those Airs a few weeks ago. It was the most beautiful computer I'd ever seen. It was so elegant. And, you're right, so expensive. But beautiful. That's one thing Apple has down well, beauty.

My first was a Texas Instruments key pad that hooked to the TV for a monitor... used cassette tapes for the programs...

In fact I think that the insinuation of "hateful" Pentecostals is coming mostly from the fertile imaginations of bitter, backslidden ex Apostolics who are constantly trying to find a way to justify their actions. ~ strait shooter

My first computer didn't have a hard drive. It had 4k ram and a tape player
My next one was an upgrade....it had a 5.25 floppy to speed things up

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
