"[Midget PCs] are smaller than a netbook but not THAT small." Midget PCs. Lovely./p pWhat's makes a midget PC different than a netbook? If you listen to Coby's marketing director, they're a whole new category of computer meant for leaner times. As far as I can tell though, the PoqetMate-7 and PoqetMate-9 emare/em just netbooks, albeit extremely cheap ones. Coby hasn't offered many specs to ponder, but the models, primarily differentiated by screen size (7in and 9in) will run Linux atop a Chinese Longsoon processor. Past that, I wouldn't expect much more than a Wi-Fi adapter and a few ports, bringing the PoqetMate in line with low-end netbooks like the Asus EeePC 701./p pCoby plans to bring these to discount retailers, including traditionally computer-averse stores like Kroger and Rite-Aid, by March, making the PoqetMate-7 the first $100 computer to be widely available in the US.

Martin Longley ponders spurting testosterone, painful sound and John Zorn's haircuts as the mightily prolific, spittle-showering saxophonist takes to the stage with Lou Reed, Marc Ribot and Milford Graves. #8230;

LinkLines 1.4.5LinkLines is a remake of the classic Lines arcade puzzle game.

The object of the game is to Link five balls of the same color to form a line in any direction. Create lines to stop the board from filling up!

This is a bright and highly polished version of a classic game. LinkLines doesn't attempt to baffle you with features and bonuses, this is simply a raw addictive puzzle game! This is a fun and entertaining game for all ages. Quick reactions are not required for this game, there are no time limits or speed bonuses. You are free to ponder over each move. This game may appear simple but the subtle strategy required to reach the highest levels is most enjoyable.

• Extended the game to 11 levels.
• Added visual clue to next balls placement.
• Limited use of Undo.
• Minor update to some graphics.
