Re: [CGUYS] Netbooks vs. Notebooks
Editing a photo does not take near the video ram a video does. Keyboards are keyboards. Want a full size one, plug it in. I can edit photos on my mobile phone. I can surf the 'net on my phone or iPod. Add a keyboard to a netbook and it isn't portable any more [rollups and virtual keyboard, too]. The choice is portable and/or versatile, and cheap vs. expensive quality. Try it before buying. As with choosing any OS, computer, or other device, you define what you need first, they search for devices that fit those needs. Don't look at price first before deciding what you really want. Often, even UMPC or netbook computers that meet your criteria but cost more than the bottom of the barrel models give you a lot more and last longer. What do you really want/need? An ultra-mobile PC or a small notebook? * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
Re: [CGUYS] Netbooks vs. Notebooks
Lack of an optical drive for burning DVDs isn't necessarily an obstacle in a 'netbook'. The SD card slot can make up for DVD burner and hard drive or small flash drive. You can save to the SD card the kinds of things you'd normally burn to disk, and your drive space is limited only by the number of SD cards you can afford to buy and carry without losing them. You can burn to DVD, etc. when you get back to your main computer. Most netbooks are hardly replacement notebooks. They're more like very big PDAs--cheaper too. A netbook won't replace your computer if your needs are much more than Internet and basic word processing, maybe touching up or cropping a photo--unless they're full featured UMPCs which often cost more than a regular size PC. Keep the desktop. Save for a real [uncrippled] notebook. interestingthanks On Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 4:37 PM, Reid Katan ka...@his.com wrote: Quoting Ranbo ran...@gmail.com: But from the responses, guess a netbook can't be a full substitution for a desktop (what I have now) or a laptop, if it doesn't have CD or DVD drives. I was hoping to be able to substitute a laptop (which I don't think I can afford presently) or netbook for a regular Dell desk top, but sounds like netbooks would be more of a supplement. Other than the lack of drives and maybe keyboard size, sounds like it could do most of what I would need, though. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

[CGUYS] iphone photo app
Does anyone know of an app, preferably free, that will allow you to view jpegs full size on the iphone/ipod touch? Apple's resizing doesn't play well with some photos I wish to see in detail. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
