When Howard here in the NG mentioned the Samsung NC-10 and I saw it gets
>6h, like my old Compaq Contura used to, I honored that laptop performance
with an order.

I'm told that the main reason those netbooks have a 1024x600 LCD is that --
unlike the older HP Mini 2133 -- Microsoft will only sell XP for "low end"
machines that have no higher resolution nor more than 60? GB of storage and
1GB of RAM; everything with better specs has to run Vista.

@#$#@$%#$%

(This is also the reason that most manufacturers advertise their Atom
CPU-based netbooks as being available with "up to 1GB of RAM" even though in
general they'll all happily accept a 2GB DIMM -- the maximum the hardware
supports.)

I'd venture to say that >50% of the knowledge I use in my practice is from
non-academic sources. App notes, Internet, ARRL books and such.

You know how much we encourage all of you and Jim and John to write books. :-)
