So what else is basic besides basic hygiene? Well, these are just beyond the basic basics.

Netbook

ASUS eeePC w/ webcam
I have had a couple of Toshiba Satellite laptops. A used one gifted to me by Gokhan and a new one I bought for myself. Most recently I have had an ASUS eeePC. Now I am using a borrowed desktop from my temporary host.

I need a netbook that is very sturdy, that has built in camera and microphone, preferrably in English with Skype and Linnux pre-installed. Several USB ports would also be good.  I really do not care about optical drive.

So what does The PC Radio Show have to say about netbooks

Video Camera

I want to have a camera that takes movies and still shots, that is compact and sturdy, that cn be plugged in directly to my netbook via USB or memory card. It'd be terrific to have a black and white or sepia option but it is not a have-to-have. This description at Best Buy seems to cover the have-to-haves:
 
Flip Video - UltraHD Camcorder - Black/ChromeModel: U2120B | SKU: 9281984 Ultracompact design; flip-out USB interface; built-in editing and sharing software; 120-minute recording time

Telephone

Oh, I do so miss hearing voices and friends and family! Skype and any associated periperals are a must for the netbook

Income

This is TOO funny. But anyway income is what I need in order to  pay off existing financial debt and it is also necessary in order to travel and keep myself stocked with the aforementioned paraphrenalia. Not to mention investment in savings and a self sufficient home-base. (Thank goodness for wwoof.org and an era where an exchange of goods and services is more reliable that using funny money interediaries before a transaction is truly settled.)
