Forgot to mention how I set it up...

I loaded 12,000 MP3's..

I loaded 150,000 sequences..

Copernic desktop search..for easy searching of songs..

Skype..to use with the built in cam and built in mic..

VanBasco to play sequences...

WinAmp to play audio and video..


All of the above work perfect...

Tomorrow I will instal Mixcraft4...a super recoring program with it's own host and softsynths..

I also have EMC Styleworks loaded..with my 12,000 style library (roland)..

My G70 internal card data is also on board..


Doesn't it sound like it will do more than send an email..

PC World mag (December) just ran an article and comparison on 5 mini-notebooks. They featured the Acer Aspire One, Lenovo IdeaPad S10, Asus Eee PC 1000H, Dell Inspiron Mini9, and MSI Wind NB U100. Highest ratings were given to the Acer, Lenovo, and Asus.

HP makes one that I've been looking at... HP Mini 1000 Series.

Has anyone loaded Winamp on one of these? Shouldn't be a problem but I'd be interested in how it sounds.

Oooops, just saw you add-on, Fran. Sounds good to me. Think I'll order mine tomorrow.

150,000 sequences...

At 3 min per song, that's 312 DAYS of nonstop playing time...

Of which probably 3 hours is worth listening to...!

But it's memory well used, eh?

Diki...
Give Fran a break. He may have meant Sequins.

Some folks save stamps..I save sequences...and besides that I have a lot of memory..

BTW: I have worked with at least 25 girls and a few guys..I have always saved their specific sequences in their own folders..key specific and what ever arrangements we worked on...

Would you believe some drop in at random times and I have material ready to go..just like we use to do..

Nothing wrong with having too much....much better than not enough...

Besides , sequences don't take a lot of memory..

My wife DOES use hers. She creates playlists cancategires. Saves a lot of juggling CDS and or dealling with buttons, She can concentrate on playing 88 keys or the guitar.

I can't see spending $1200 for a "PC" when you can spend half that and have $600 for REAL software with features that go well beyond Audacity and some of the other open source free software for even $150 and Windows which although I am not a big fan on it does allow for millions of software choices including the ability to run your business on it/
, get online anywhere and a plethora of other things including everything the INDIEMIX does.

For $600 I don;t think you could go wrong.

Good timing with this thread. My wife & I are looking for a laptop.

I am assuming that these laptops all have wireless internet access ?
