Hi I decided not to go for the Tosheba in the end but for the NC10. Last night I was very disappointed as I could not see a power light on and decided I would have to take it back to the shop today. I did this afternoon and immediately the man plugged it in and showed me where the gren light was. I could see the light. I then asked him if he would go through the set-up bit and he very kindly did. It took about 15 minutes or thereabouts so I went off and did my shopping and then it was ready. Now I have it back home I still cannot see that green light but have tried without the battery and yes indeed the power is coming through. Now there is some form or something coming up after Windows has booted up. What would that be. I tried using the voice thing, I forget what that is called, Chris recommended it to me but it was and is not making enough sense to me to know what to do now. I will have no problem once someone who can see is around but if anyone can tell me about this then I can move on another pace. In the meantime at least I can leave it charging for the next 6 hours.

Hi,If it's anything like the Advent 4211, it's configured to the point where there's various data you can put in, but I know that certainly some (such as keyboard) can be done later. It may be that it all can, but I wouldn't say for certain. I had sighted assistance just to get through those screens, but it doesn't really need to be anyone who has great knowledge of computers. It's all pretty straightforward stuff.Hope this helps a bit. -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx----- Original Message ----- From: "James Scholes" <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: "Eleanor Burke" <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, December 12, 2008 8:10 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Net Book Thread - Tosheba NB 100Hi Eleanor,I honestly couldn't say, if it comes with a regular install of XP then yes, as there's a lot of steps to go through. However, if you can turn it on and boot into XP straight away, there's really no need. I can't find any info online about how XP comes configured on the unit unfortunately.On Friday, December 12, 2008 at 07:57 PM (GMT), Eleanor Burke wrote:Yes indeeed James. Many thanks for that. I think I need sighted assistanceto get it up and running. the man in the shop said about XP and choosinglanguage etc and having to wait about 10 minutes while it went through itspaces. Then he said about username and password. Do I need to put thesein? I can of course. Would you recommend me getting someone who can see to set all of this up for me? Once that is done and Supernova goes on, I wouldthen be more in control again.

Of course, it does run Windows very well, but if you're looking for a netbook, the Samsung NC10 is currently the best all rounder, meaning that its price and features are good and well-balanced.
