Hi Carol,
The software can be found at www.spearit.com/. By default, it will copy
everything. Every program, every file, every setting. However, there is an
app called the control center included with it, and in there you can
create rule sets which tell it what to move, what to ignore, etc.

Where is this programme available? Is it a free-be?
Tell us how it performs as it copies over your apps. Presumably you could
choose what you wanted to copy and what you wanted to leave behind ...

Hi Eleanor,
Just a thought, there is a program called Move Me which will copy your
apps, settings, files etc over to a new machine. I have made a preset
image with all my regularly used apps, and it came to about 20 GB in
size.
So when I get the netbook, I'll connect it up to my network, tell Move Me
to transfer, go to bed and when I get up in the morning, once I've
restarted the netbook it should have all my applications, plus settings
for them that I've customised on the PC. That's one of the reasons why I
can't wait to get it, to see how it performs after I've done this. I also
plan on installing Linux on it, as my PC failed miserably when I tried
that on here.

It is a matter of preference. One can get used to the netbook keyboard
but
like me you obviously like to have one at leat on stand-by. I sometimes
use
a keyboard (external) with my laptop and at other times I do not. If you
are wanting the netbook for out and about then I do not think you want to
lug an external keyboard around with you too. Entirely a matter of
preference. There are (I think) 3 USB connections. Now I always use an
external mouse so one of these is used up immediately.
Good luck with it Adrien. I've started installing lots of my software
and
got carried away and did not realize the time. I'd say that's what
happened
to Jackie the day she spent over 6 hours on it configuring her software
to
her personal needs.

Hi
Is there any advantage to my buying an external keypad for
my new netbook like I use for my laptop?

Hi, Joikuspot will work with all networks, and yes, it sends
your 3G, or HSDPA internet connection out as a constant WiFi
signal for the laptop to pick up. It also supports WEP
encryption so that you can go somewhere public and use it
without a load of people using your connection as well.

Hi James
Can you be a bit more specific about Joikuspot . Are you
saying that if you
go about with a laptop and your N95 this program sends a
constant wifi
signal from the phone which can then be picked up by the
laptop? This would
then save dongles etc. Does it use the higher speeds (I
think it's HDSA or
something like that), if it's available as opposed to 3G?
Does it only work with 02 or would it work on other
suppliers?
Thanks.

Hi Saqib, I didn't like the Advent because of the pour
build quality and
keyboard design. Also, the machine tended to get rather
hot when using it.
And by the way, I use a program called Joikuspot on my
Nokia N95 which
transmits my 3G internet from O2 from my phone as a WiFi
signal. I then
can connect to the internet anywhere on the netbook
without having to
disable my phone by removing my Sim.

Hi Saqib
Yes I did, and would have gone for it had it not been for
the keyboard. I
just preferred the Samsung as I found the keyboard on the
Advent very
flat and not quite as tactile. What I mean by that is
that some keyboards
are very flat, and the keys don't feel separated.
Otherwise, I think the
spec on the Advent and Samsung were identical. I think
the Asuss was even
smaller, which is fine if you want something really tiny.
I would just
recommend people go out there and have a feel of these
machines before
buying. While they are pretty much alike, there are some
subtle
differences on the keyboard and shape of the machine that
might have a
differing appeal. I think the Packard-Bell had a dual
core processor, but
I just didn't like it, and am not a fan of that brand
anyway.

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!!
