Re: Looping with a Netbook?



Wow...just looked at the specs on that puppy, Art!

The biggest problem w/ the netbooks is getting enough RAM into them to
do any work. Looks like this, aside from having to switch to using the
WIndows flavor of all those plugins, would certainly do the trick.

Best,

Dennis
