Toys

The Gorse Fox has treated himself to a new toy. 

He has bought a Samsung NC10 netbook. This is small (10.2") screen and an almost normal sized keyboard. Seems like a terrific little machine - but GF did have trouble setting up the wireless connection. For now, the only way he can get it to connect is by removing the wireless network security. Given how remote GF is, this does not pose much of a threat.

This is ideal for travel, having a very long battery life.

Looks a nice bit of kit, will be interested how you get on as I always think it would be handy for photo work while travelling, although a new home PC is a higher priority just now.

Seems there are newer wifi drivers that might fox your wifi connection issues.

Well the Samsung updater tells the Gorse Fox that the WiFi driver is at the latest level, but it is clear that he is not alone in having trouble so hopefully some more changes may turn up.
