    "content": "Alex:\n\nBenefits of a netbook (I have the smaller of the two Acer sizes, only\nsomething like 8.9 inches for the screen):\n\nSize:\tYes\n\nWeight: Yes.  My Acer Aspire One weights almost exactly 1.0 kg. (2.2 lbs.)\nAcer sells one size larger screen (10+ inches), but it weights more.\n\nBattery life:  Sucks. I get 2.25 hours. You can squeeze out another 45\nminutes by turning off wi-fi, turning off sound, etc. You can get a bigger\nbattery, or a replacement 2d battery (to swap in), but this adds weight.\n\nKeyboard:  85% the size of normal, but I find it tolerable -- even for legal\nwriting.  Not great, but tolerable.\n\nHam radio: I brought my tiny Acer Aspire One to Bulgaria for the LZ HF Open.\nIt did everything I asked of it.  It sent CW, controlled the IC-7000, ran\nN1MM.  There was no internet, but on another occasion, if I needed it, I\ncould also run internet spotting for point and shoot. (But remember, you run\nout of screen real estate faster on a small screen.) \n\nBusiness:  Smaller means easier to bring along with a projector to show\nzoning people why they are wrong about their ideas on restricting antennas.\n\nWhen travelling, I like the tiny Acer because it fits into a European\nman-bag and weighs only 1 kg.  No need for a \"computer bag.\"  This means I\ncan check e-mail whenever I find myself in a wi-fi hotspot. Some of the\nhotels/inns don't have wi-fi, and I'll never remember to come back and find\nthat coffee shop with wi-fi. \n\nDownside:  CPU slower, less memory. Result: Working on a 25 MB document (a\nfiling with photos) is occasionally irritating because it is slower than my\ndesktop. My tiny netbook uses the Atom processor, which is just barely\nenough.\n\nConclusion: MicroCenter sells Acer Aspire One netbooks about twice a year\nfor $199. If you break one on the road (or lose one, but thank goodness\nneither has happened to me yet), you don't feel so bad. I think of mine as a\nreally nice toy that I thoroughly enjoy. And I really like travelling with\nSkype. But I doubt I'd recommend a netbook for processor-intensive\nengineering, or extensive use of Google Earth.\n\nBottom line to question asked:  I've used my netbook with an IC-7000 and it\nran 100%.\n\n\nFred Hopengarten, Esq.
