I ordered the Lenovo S10 per Donny's suggestion, as it is the only netbook with an express slot. I can get a PCMCIA adaptor to to use my soundcard. The 17" HP is too big, anyway. It is hard to get it in a position not to obstruct my eye contact, even if it was working. As Donny says,"no looking back".

Bernie good luck what color did you get?

I wanted black but it was sold out, and I am not a patient man, so I settled for white(better than pink). I bought it at Amazon for $349 to arrive Tommorrow. It even can fit on my G70, and as I sit high, I can look over it with ease. Hey, if it works for you-----

WTG Bernie enjoy it!....

G70 has video out... Why not use the G70 for everything? Get a VGA cheap display for the singer. Now you are BOTH on the same page...

There's even an undocumented way to have five pages of lyrics easily displayed even when you are in Style Mode. You Link an SMF to the UPG with the style, load up the lyrics to the SMF in five chunks, sync them to different bars in the SMF (first page in Bar1), place Markers at those other bars, then you can 'turn the page' by hitting the four Marker buttons and get back to Page one by hitting 'TOP'...

My only wish is for Roland to allow smaller fonts, as I can read a bit smaller fonts, and you could get more on one page.

But it's amazing what you can make the old girl do, if you don't take any notice of what Roland says it CAN'T do!

space the sequence far enough for the next page so it won't change till tou need to view another full page..and set marksers...You have the begining of the sequence for page 1, and 4 more markers for 4 more pages..a total of 5 pages of lyrics..and they can be a verse on each page allowing you to go back to another verse or bridge.

The video out idea is good,but the laptop displays both lyrics and notes/chords. The G70 provides either/or(AFAIK).

The other problem is that there is no VGA connection, but S-video type. I have a VGA monitor, but the last time I looked for an adaptor(S-video to VGA), it was about $60.

I rec'd my Lenovo S10 today, and it is just what I needed. I set the netbook on the G70 and run the sound through the aux ins with the volume at my fingertips. Just marvelous. Thanks Donny

Bernie, that is how I run it too..everything right at my finger tips, and all control from the G70..It can't get better than that..
