I will see everything however the graphics are one way or another out of whack. Probably not a huge issue since basically no one uses it anymore however I am old school and still use it.

I use a PC, wireless router and the Acer :-) Copying files is done an extraxting is running. I did the dvd into my PC dvdrw and went to X:\Sources and from the Acer i ran the Setup.exe I've splitted the 160Gb with Partition magic into: 1) ACER_LAPTOP_PQSERVICE0-1_Drive 2) ACER_LAPTOP_C_Drive 3) Self made partition for W7 of 50Gb @ this mom the acer just rebooted and the W7 setup is continuing :-) For so far this is my contribution to the story. Tnx for reading..... Hi all,

I haven't tried the camera., mostly use Ubuntu Netbook Remix and this works perfectly and boots in half the time... have a 400GB hard drive with Mac OSX, Win7 & UNR so have the best of all three worlds :) Fair enough!

Speed is not the issue. I get oversensitivity with the touchpad even with the latest Synaptec mouse driver. And I don't like operating the taskbar, start menu etc. on the tiny screen. And the cam. still doesn't work; a software issue. It was easier when I was running XP. Still there are some great new features. I also have WIN 7 on a desktop, 64 bit processor. A different story, I like that one just fine. I upgraded to 1.5 gig RAM and 250 GIG HD.

I still believe that Google Chrome will arrive, perhaps in a year. If there's a Beta version, it would make for a nice project. Win 7 seems not really optimal for a netbook.

]]> Comment on If Chess were Played like Some Companies do New Media Marketing by alan jones http://garyshortblog.wordpress.com/2009/07/28/if-chess-were-played-like-some-companies-do-new-media-marketing/#comment-410 alan jones Tue, 24 Nov 2009 13:07:40 +0000 http://garyshortblog.wordpress.com/2009/07/28/if-chess-were-played-like-some-companies-do-new-media-marketing/#comment-410 Great post, love your analogy. New media marketing is such a new field, there hasn't been enough time to do enough empirical research to really know what works. Instead, as you say, marketers see case studies of something that just happened to work, and mimic, without knowing what element of the strategy — or what environmental factors — were the reason for the case study's success. In startup businesses, there's always so much pressure to take action — any action — in order to be seen to be doing something. A lot of money and time gets wasted on blind swings at something that might work. That's if you can know whether it worked or not — often goals haven't been defined and measurement hasn't been planned for. "Are the investors happy we moved our knight? Yes? Then we're winning for the time-being!" Great post, love your analogy.
