Hi Eleanor

I was talking to Lee at dolphin on Wednesday, I asked him
about the nc10 and he looked at their website (samsung's)
and he told me that there is no reason why hal shouldn't
work because the specs are very high. I would imagine that
supernova would be the same. 


Regards

Adrien

Hi
I was interested in what Jackie had to say and contacted
Dolphin to see if 
Supernova would work on the Samsung NC10 but it has not been
tested and they 
don't know!!!!  Has anyone tried it perhaps?  He thought I'd
be better off 
with a laptop!!!!
