Now that was posted so that I could ask this . . .
Asus netbook, received gratis, should it stay or should it go?
Will it prove useful for photography or just not have enough grunt to be of assistance?

Hmmm, dunno - Sam might be able to answer that one, as he has/had one.

Might be ok for tethered shooting ?

I've got a netbook (Acer Aspire One) and use it quite a bit for tethered shooting, controlling telescopes remotely, image download, light image editing etc. All good for that sort of thing. Just don't throw any serious number crunching at it - like stacking images, HDR maybe, games using lots of 3D/OpenGL type graphics. It's wonderfully compact and cheap to take on holidays to download photos and maybe do some editing. Just be aware of the screen resolution - they're typically 1024x600 max resolution and some applications (like DPP IIRC) require 1024x768 or better to run. You can install a free application that fools the netbook into thinking it has those higher resolutions, and the screen just scrolls up and down, but it's a pain in the neck to use extensively.

I got a netbook too running 10.6.2. Works pretty well with excellent battery life.

I pretty much use it as lightly as possible as well. Mostly remote admin stuff when the iphone just is WAY too small hehe...

Just in case you were bored with black . . .

Howdy strangers...

Thought I might drop in for a little out of state tax that is a little overdue...

Just a couple from a sunset last night: (before you ask, they were taken a few minutes apart - hence the major difference in colour )

Enjoy

I saw a couple of those in a camera store recently - really looked like plastic toys!

Hope all are well.

That first one is a bit of an optical illusion Scott, the darker clouds look like islands on a sea of red waves. Quite interesting really.

I wish it was possible to get the 5D in the same style of silver used on the xxxD series...

Very nice, I agree with Dave's comments also.

How about this.
