Well - eventually my new Netbook arrived, and I was quietly impressed.
It's so light - my laptop is 4-5 times heavier!!
Small 10" widescreen but quite workable, and does everything my big Laptop does as well.
Now almost fully loaded with software, as I planned ahead.
(I managed to buy a copy of MS Office Enterprise from my company, on an employee / Microsoft scheme for about £17 - it would have cost more for a dodgey copy)!!
Microsoft allow this if you use the same software at work!!
That was a bonus!!
All registered and authorised - and working seamlessly.
DVD burning software, with an external USB DVD ReWriter, a multitude of stuff pre-loaded, a couple of my favourite Graphics programs for my photos.
It has a built in Mic, Webcam, and wireless connection for my emails and surfing!
Speedwise - possibly a touch slower than my big PC at home, but not noticabley so!
A good buy for just over £200!!

So now I am hoping I will get a wireless connection, that I can pick up, at the Apartments.
I'll let you know!!
Anyone else have any good ideas for holidays!!

sorry, double dutch to me :-[ isnt it a bit of a liability taking all this stuff? and why?- oh yeah your photos hobby, I foprgot.Part of the beauty of a Greek Island holiday,to me, is to get away from technology,otherwise I could see me getting sucked into going on rugby and Dylan message boards for hours, - just like at home,lol,nah, the digi-camera is enough tech on hol for me thanks,we take nice enough photo's with that  :) ah well we're all different eh?

I'll just be taking my Blackberry with me, but my other half has already warned me about using it. If she catches me looking at emails from work she's threatened to throw it in the pool!  :o
