Thanks James for that. It is great news. Does the person run Version 10.0 or should I go for a lower version? Dolphin could not even tell me that.

Hi Eleanor,
Supernova runs just fine on the NC10, I know someone who uses it along with a lot of other applications and it works as good as on his laptop and PC.

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!!!!

Hi Jacky Did you come across the Advent 4213? That one has a simcard slot
under the battery and you just insert a Three simcard in and use their
broadband. This feature is useful for when out and about. No need to look
for a wifi hotspot.

Hi All



Apologies for cross-posting for those subscribed to both lists, but this
topic has been covered on Access UK and BCAB recently.



Having been very interested in the thread of Netbooks, I decided to have
a wander round while on a couple of days leave last week, and have now
purchased the Samsung NC10.  I looked at the Advent and Asuss machines,
as well as a similar spec Packard-Bell and the Samsung.  I chose the
latter because I just liked the keyboard that little bit better.  For
those who use a Pac Mate qwerty, the keys on the Samsung are not unlike
it, and I felt comfortable typing on it without feeling too cramped up
for space.



I've now installed JAWS, K1000 and Microsoft Office Professional 2003,
and find it works a treat with these and other programs I have added and
use regularly.  In fact, it's a cracker! I particularly love its
portability, and bought a nice little bag that takes its mains charger
and has room for other items like an external drive or USB pen.
For those interested in wanting to buy one of these machines, the Samsung NC10 comes with 1GB RAM, 160GB hard drive, WiFi and Bluetooth, Windows XP 
Home, has three USB ports, ethernet connection, microphone and headphone
sockets, and a battery life purported to be around the 2.5 hour mark.
They come in I believe blue, white and black, the latter being the choice 
I went for.  They cost around £300.



All the machines I looked at had very similar specifications, with a
slight variation on the estimated battery life.  For me - and this is
very personal to the individual - the Samsung had just that bit nicer
keyboard.



So far, so brill!!
