AJAX is not a programming language, scripting language or any other sort of language.
It is acheived by using JavaScript http functions.
So, AJAX = JavaScript.

Although the price on them is tempting... My PC cost me £600, and the screen a further £100, so slight difference there. I think I would make my eyesight worse by using such a small screen, and it isn't good now

Hahaha well i might as well use my eyes while i am still young.
Actually i would love a big computer in some ways. The portability of a netbook though is exemplary. And whenever i need a large screen i just plug it into my widescreen monitor
If i had more money though i would invest in something a little more.. powerful

Load on startup means: Power on to: Desktop displayed, Icons loaded, system in idle process, all daemons / devices running, connected to LAN / Internet.
Time it takes my Linux box to load on startup:
~45 seconds to one minute (and it has issues)
Time it taks my gf's Macbook to load on startup:
30 seconds.
Time it takes my IBM thinkpad T61 windows XP sp2 to load on startup:
7 - 15 minutes.
c'mon, is windows 7 going to be any faster? Are their crappy applications (Office?) going to run any smoother or glitch free? Have they been compiling all of their "error reports" from crashed applications and really trying to work on a more stable system? Maybe if they knew what they were doing. The most stable product Microsoft ever released was win2K and I'm only a fan of it since it was the least error prone product they've put out. It's not better than Unix, it's not better than OSx or leopard or snow leopard - whatever mac runs now. I mean, fool me once, shame on you, fool me like, eleven times . . . .?!

yes. It is faster, i used to run XP and now i have installed windows 7 there is a very noticeable speed increase, especially on the startup time.
Dont immediately discount things before trying them, and also i bet your girlfrends laptop cost a lot more money then you are running the XP system on. If you payed the same amount of money as you did for the mac i think you would find it would be closer to 35 - 40 seconds, that was what it was for me on a $500 netbook.
