I have trouble with a lot of sites using my netbook I've been carrying around. Sites with a wide header can't squeeze onto the browser window; true of the MI site as well. Scrolling side to side to read a page sucks.

Do a lot of people use netbooks, or did we all just skip to smartphones?

I picked up a netbook from a friend for 1 single purpose and that is the FIC. Still have to scroll a tiny bit, but it is usable at least and can be tucked under the seat. I had both the iPad and iPad II and sold the II to Thomas. I can easily live without a netbook, iJunk, etc especially with how powerful smartphones have become...that is as long as web portal owners take some initiative to stay up with the times.

Which browser are you using? I have Firefox, Safari, and IE on the taskbar of my netbook, but I primarily use Safari. I set it up so the zoom buttons are on the edge of the header at the top and zooming allows me to avoid the scrolling back and forth you mention. However, my solution might be uncomfortable eyesight wise for others.

I don't use my netbook very often, but I use it far more often than my smartphone (an AT&T Fusion with Gingerbread). The Fusion shares a SIM card with a Motorola Razr v3 and most of the time I leave the SIM card sitting in the v3. I also have a Verizon line.

I agree with Mazilla, I don't like the mobile versions of sites.
