That actually sounds horrid.

Active noise canceling headphones are as good or better.

That's my recommendation. Acer Aspire One with 10" screen is excellent.

There's no American jobs issue:
No netbooks are being built in the USA
No Kindles are being built in the USA

Honey,

Stop being such an ass. You know you shouldn't be playing here. The doctor
called and wants you to take your medicine.

 

> I don't even have TV service.

Either joking or extreme. Limiting watching time is one thing, not having a
TV completely is another thing & not a good thing.
The Amish, Orthodox jews, & such are not gaining by not having a TV totally.

AT least once a week maybe you could take a peek at the WORLD.
With global NewsNetworks, Discovery, Science channel, History, DIY, HD
Theater, and such - it can be useful to expand your horizon.
Of course various talk shows, Judge Judy and various superficial, empty
things are not things I have a TV for.
But there's another side and a little Discovery or History doesn't hurt.
