Default Netbook Computer For Soaring

Did SeeYou 3D work OK with your netbook? That is the real CPU and
video hog of the various things that SeeYou can do. Obviously,
statistics, plan or elevation views are no big deal.

I suggest that you make sure to buy a unit with an Atom processor and
pay for 2gb of RAM. They all seem to come with a webcam which is
great with Skype.

My wife bought a Dell Mini10 for $1 (yes, one dollar) from Sprint and
it came with a built in cellular broadband card - a very sweet, use-it-
anywhere combo - but she had to sign up for 2 years of service at $60/
month. ;-( I don't know if this deal is still available.

My $0.02.
