I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Panda House (IRL) moved out of Northampton a few years ago.
And yes, it was Chinese food (or at least what we Americans call Chinese Food).

I figured she wrote this when she was younger... most of these fics, at least according to stereotype, are written by high schoolers.

Also noting that Goldie is either really slow at switching/ closing tabs, or that netbooks suck even more than I already thought (don't get angry, I have big fingers- I hate smartphones too.).

whilst i'm sure that Marigold will be a linux user I've developed a real hatred of netbooks and could easily see a small one taking 10s or more to hide Firefox.
my wife has just bought a brand new acer aspire 1 with windows 7 basic, and not only is it slower than the acer aspire 1 from 2 years ago that was running xp when it broke, it's slower than the 1995 era dell dimention 4400 runing xp sp3 that i have at home as a "server".
I understand that moores law allows for either cheaper or more powerful, but my larger fingers aside i simply cannot stand these tiny things. it's faster for me to use my old iPhone 3G to look up something.

The new Macbook Airs seem to be becoming the "gold standard" of small laptops fairly fast. And, frankly, the iPad is about five to ten times easier and faster to use than any netbook I've ever tried.
It's just a pity they're so expensive.
Also; W7 basic sucks ass. Microsoft, Symbian, Google, and all the other mobile OS people need to get a grip and start making proper scalable "small" operating systems developed expressly for netbooks.

Depends on your definition of "small". I still argue for the Sony Vaio Z, which is ridiculously times more powerful, in a 13.1" size (full i7 processors, RAIDed SSDs, optical drive), for an equally ridiculous price. Well, ok, not ridiculous, considering what you get, but pretty high.
