Why not just back up to your PC or the cloud?

kinda defeats the pupose of a netbook if it has a dvd drive. That basically makes it just a really small laptop doesn't it?

Get a used off-lease Thinkpad or Latitude if your budget is that low. Netbooks are garbage.

How about Acer brand netbooks, they got 2 gigs of ram, but be aware that netbooks are kindly slower compared to laptops and notebooks, unless you're want to buy the netbook and also installing the OS platform other than Windows, or just say Linux, it could be better...
