Netbooks don't require any sorts of contracts. My aunt got an Acer a while back. While pink is not my color, I did think it was a cool little computer. Her hard drive messed up on it and it had to be sent in for warranty work. It must have been bad from the factory. She got hers off Amazon. She uses it for all sorts of things, including Word and Excel. She's got an external CD/DVD drive for it. If you've got a drive sittin around you can get an external enclosure for it to turn it into an external drive. I wouldn't mind getting a wireless router and netbook to set up a small wireless network. That's what my aunt did and it is pretty cool. Some netbooks even have solid state drives. I kind of like that idea to not have any moving parts.
