Netbook Computer For Soaring

Bill, if you haven't seen it already, Wikipedia has a nice comparison

I'm giving the technology another year before I pick one. (And no, I
don't expect the pace of miniaturization to have leveled off a bit!)

I've been using an MSI WInd for several months and am very happy with
it as a very portable computer. Took it to China and have used it all
over the US, easy hook up to WiFi and SeeYou works fine. The only
problem is with programs that use ONLY 1024 by 768 or larger screens;
the netbooks are 1024x600 and several programs I've loaded to use
either fall off the bottom and you loss what ever controls are there,
or they refuse to work at all.

None of the soaring programs or websites have caused any problems.

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.
