Not One Single Netbook

Could Somewhere Be Found

I set out today to grab a netbook for someone and got a bit of a surprise…

I went to the local Walmart and, when I asked about getting a netbook, I was just about laughed at. “None in stock!” they said.

OK, I thought… so I went to my local BestBuy. There were tons on display. I waited in line to get the Samsung netbook only to be told they had none in stock. “Okay, I asked, how about the Dell?” “Sorry, the woman told me, we don’t have a single netbook in stock!”

I went to two more stores and found the exact same thing. I’m sure there are netbooks available SOMEWHERE in the state but NONE of my usual haunts has one.

Seems like the message of the day is…

“NO NETBOOK FOR YOU!!!”

I live in a relatively small town. Our local Staples had a big display of Acer netbooks two weeks ago, but they’re all gone now.

I picked one up Wednesday night at Best Buy. They had 5 left on the shelf. But when I asked if there were any more the salesperson said yes, we have HPs. They had a floor model of the HP on an end cap but none on the shelves. He went and got me one down off the high storage rack.

Wow, I never thought netbooks could be so popular and be sold out. I guess they would be a great gift for a good price. Good luck finding your netbook.
