netBook vs netBook
Pro |
| Spreadsheets: The software on the
Pro are mainly viewers. Unlike the netBook that
comes with working spreadsheet and Word software the
Pro does not! The way I use my netBook is as a
notebook replacement. All tools that I have build
have been created with the netBook in mind so I
would be able to run on it. My Financial Analysis
tool is large but works like a charm after converted
with PsiWin on the original netBook. Since I have to
input data to run the Analysis the viewers that come
on the Pro are useless. From
http://www.byedesign.freeserve.co.uk/ I
downloaded SpreadCE that allows you to have a
working Spreadsheet on the Pro. Download this
version:

. This does work on the Pro. Unfortunately it is not
capable of opening my analysis tool (an almost 1.7
Mb Excel file). I tested over an over again. The
machine hangs after about 2 minutes and 43 seconds.
The error msg is: Insufficient Memory and suggest to
close other software to free up memory. In all test
situations there was no other software running!
I have to admit the screen is beautiful, and
displaying PowerPoint presentations on the Pro is
absolutely beautiful. |

| Mapping Software: I have tested:
(TomTom)Route Planner Millennium, Route Planner
(Latest Version) and Streets & Trips USA 2003 (MS)
that comes with a CE version. |
| I short, I have spent three days
with these packages. Resetting, Installing and
resetting, installing again. Helpdesk
phonecalls with no solution none of them work on the
Pro! |
