[DUG] Delphi 7 on a Netbook

Mon Mar 14 10:15:48 NZDT 2011

Thanks Rodney,

I'm trying it out - not sure of living in the world of the little
teeny-weeny for too long but it will allow me to get some work done without
lugging around the larger system. plus it allows me to work without the
power plug (Hello cappuccinos) for longer. My laptop only works for about 30
minutes but I can get a good 6 hours from the netbook.
