    Hello again everybody,

    yes i know i said i'd **** off, but i just can't resist you lot.... well,
    you lot seem to know everything anyways, so why bother with the other
    newsgroups.

    Firstly, goin OT from my OT post, i've been playing the pikey for the past
    few months, touring scotland in me motorhome, i didnt take the vinyl cutter
    with me, which was fuckin stupid as almost everyone i met asked where they
    could get some graphics like i had on my van (now taken off as the ****
    accross the road complained.. they werent that rude), also a few people off
    here e-mailed me with requests,
    even one of the blokes i bought my biodiesel off up there wanted some
    graphics and would have paid me with a tank full of biodiesel, live and
    learn i guess,

    right, onto the ot post,

    i want one of those netbooks, getting fed up of lugging the big laptop with
    me, it's 2 hour battery life, the millions of apps that take 10 minutes to
    load when i turn it on etc, especialy as the most used proggies are internet
    explorer and outlook express (i know, but it does the job for me)

    i like the look of the Eee T91, as the tablet bit would be very handy, as
    when i have taken a load of photo's with my RC plane, i load them to the
    laptop then take it around the club i was taking photo's of, having a tablet
    type netbook would make that a lot easier,
    also thinking of using it in tablet mode as a gps in the van,

    but i've read mixed reviews of them, dont suppose anyone on here owns or
    uses one?
    would i be pushing it to try and run the sign making software i use for
    making the vinyl stuff on a netbook? it's a pretty basic graphical editor,
    all 2d stuff, but it's vector based to enable the cutter to cut lines, the
    one i use the most is signblazer, bit i also occasionaly use inkscape with a
    cutter plug in,

    Is probably the right answer. Friend has an EEE9000 Hackingtosh with SSD
    drive and extended battery. Boots in about 20 seconds and runs for about
    6 hours.

  4. I'm running a sammy N510 at the moment, Intel Atom on Nvidia Ion, 7hrs
    on the 6cell battery, HDMI and Chargeable USB, tidy bit of kit.

    T91 is nice as gadgets go, but a couple in the office here are already
    feeling a bit flimsy on the swivel hinge.

  6. Ooh, didn't know they had Ion kit out. I'm v. happy with my Acer
    Revo (except that Acer won't tell me how to select more that 512 MB VRAM),
    it crunches seti@home almost as quickly as my 2.8 GHz Pentium D. Any news
    on when the Ion2 might come out? I hear there's a dual-core Revo now,
    so twice as much GPU as well would be great!
