Well, it's not impossible... :biggrin: I don't recall ever being sent a 120MB TIF to put 3-inches square on a mug. The usual problem is the pictures being too small, not too big.Ian Mc;31980 wrote:I suppose I can agree with what your saying, JSR. I'd just have a long wait on my hand if I decided to edit 120MB TIFs on a netbook...
Personally, I prefer the convenience of being able to pick up one thing and take my entire office with me. No worries about any moving parts, no worries about battery running out in under an hour (which was always a problem with any full-size laptops we could afford). Freedom! :biggrin:
For me, the netbook revolution was over too quickly. In my 30 years of computing, the netbook is the only product that ever made sense. Everything else has always been in an arms race - getting ever more powerful with ever larger hard drives just so we can fill it up with ever more resource-hogging bloatware; and then the cycle starts all over again. I mean, why does Windows 7 need 16GB of disk space when Windows 98SE did fine with just a couple of hundred MBs? It's typical of modern-day bloatware, and we buy into it by buying bigger and more powerful machines just so we're ready for the next overload of bloatware. If that's not crazy, I'm turning in my straight-jacket.
Got that mainily to do some video/dvd work for another business - presentations etc, the big screen (boy is it big) is handy for seeing better what the final result is actually going to look like, and I have to say that the os is nice. Its going to take a while to get used to the way it works. I'm going to have a go running a couple of the age old graphics programs I'm used to on it (windows emulation) and that may well make its way into the office in due course. If I can find mac alternatives I will but looks unlikely for some favourites.
