I have tested the ACER netbook mentioned earlier and it seems as powerful as my old laptop. But you need Microsoft XP and not Windows 7 Starter which has limited functionality. -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Daniel Holmes Sent: Friday, May 27, 2011 8:15 AM To: Utah Astronomy Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] OT Want Ad: netbook computer One thing to note, a small netbook may not have the horsepower to do the imaging.

I suspect some of you may be dumping your netbooks to upgrade to an Ipad. If so, I am interested in picking up a used netbook with at least two USB 2.0 ports for use as a dedicated small astro imaging computer in the $125-$150 price port range. I decided I don't want to haul around my main writing-accounting laptop to remote sites for astro imaging. Clear Skies, Kurt c a n o p u s 5 6 at y a h o o dot c o m
