I am going to see my doctor about it, especially since I don't want "Ralph" to hang around for 30 years. While he's nice enough he's unsightly and a tad embarrassing in the company of gentlefolk.

I had one on my head since I was a little kid. I told my parents I felt something on my head but they couldn't feel it. I had numerous x-rays and doc consults until the final diagnosis was that it was "all in my head", they said it was my imagination. When I started dating my wife (then girlfriend) she felt my head and said, "you have a bump on your head!!". I told her no it was just my imagination. needless to say for years she encourage me to get it removed and I saw countless doctors, dermatologists and neurologists who all told me they wouldn't remove it. then last summer, I had a weird twitch in my arm, (probably due to stress of not having a job) when I felt it I noticed a huge bump, (like yours). I wasn't that concerned as it didn't hurt but a friend who is a nurse suggested I get it checked out. A few months later I did, I went to my doctor who have going to for a bout 5 years. He immediately said, "oh it's just a Sebaceous cyst." I said, "Oh like the one on my head?" he felt it and said yes. I then I asked him how I can get it removed as now it's been bothering me as it's more noticeable with the lack of hair. He said I can take out for you right now. An hour later, the so called "phantom" bump that was growing on my head for over 30 years was gone. Or it’s a Sebaceous cyst. I had one on my head since I was a little kid.

No, I had one of those for a couple of years. It is indeed a ganglion cyst. Mine magically went away on its own at about the same time Helen developed one. The joke around here is that I passed it on to her. Freak!!! No, I had one of those for a couple of years. It is indeed a ganglion cyst.

I recognized it right away since I've had one on my right wrist for quite some time now. His name is George. He prevents me from doing push-ups and lately even interferes with Wii Sports. I'm supposed to see an orthopedist about it, but I fear losing George will leave my life empty and meaningless... It is most likely a ganglion cyst.

It's not a half bad computer, sure it's a little underpowered but mostly I'm doing my work via ssh and the browser. That said, the size is absolutely dreadful if you need to work long periods on it and the trackpad blows with regards of accuracy and sensitivity. Oh, and my wrist twinges everytime I look at it now. :-/ Zing!

I guess part of the reason I love my netbook is I actually don't use it that much...just for web surfing and such, not for actual work. Although in theory I like the idea of a netbook as a primary computer, I'm not there yet... That sucks!
