The netbook era was right when I was getting into PC tech stuff. Had a dell mini 10 hackentosh/windows dual boot setup. Also remember trying to run the web version of Minecraft on it and needing to stick the netbook into my mini fridge freezer to precool it for longer playtimes before it would thermal throttle. What a weird time.
