I just discovered that my calculus teacher has an Acer Aspire One! How many people do you know (in real, face-to-face life, not on teh interwebs) with netbooks?

EDIT: Don't include yourself in the poll - just post :)

My cartooning teacher just bought the new Asus EeePC (with Linux).
I know that I will soon own a Dell Mini Inspiron 910.

Still didn't get it?

I don't know anyone in person with one. At this point in my life, I have no social contacts, so that doesn't say much. It is possible that people I knew have them now.

I saw someone with one in the cafeteria at my college the other day. That's about the extent of my experience with them.

I bought my 82 year old Grandma one :) (Asus EeePC 901)

I also know 2 people I work with who have one as well. (A 4G 701 and an EeePC 900)

2 people from the computer club have Netbooks;

One EeePC from a while ago, and one Dell Mini 9 from recent.

Oh, and does a OLPC count?

Two people from my call centre both have the ee laptop thing, it is pretty cool, too small for me though.

Depends on "knows".

I go to uni, enough of the people here have bought one to be noticeable.

Personally, hmmm 2-3?

Only ever seen them in shops, never seen one in the wild, I know of some co-workers at other locations who have them, but I've never met these people face to face, so I voted 0.
