Nice!

I’ll try with my father’s eee900… should it work? I’ll come back if I can do it.

Thanks at all!

Yes, but with my eeeBookMode thing u can do it with just 1 click on an icon (and another click on another icon to restore). 1 click = rotate screen and trackpad, 1 click = restore. Easier

Hi Rob,
I’ll take your suggestions under consideration regarding operating system specific postings.

Thanks.

A couple of comments:

1) It would be really useful for ALL blog postings here which are operating system specific to have such a reference to indicate this fact. If I’d known this one was only for XP, I probably wouldn’t have bothered reading any further.

2) I use Linux and my solution to what this post shows is to use FBReader http://www.fbreader.org/ (for Linux, XP, Vista etc) for ebooks and the like, Firefox for web-based info and a PDF file reader for acrobat documents (evince or kpdf). It requires 3 readers, but most computers would have Firefox and a PDF reader available anyway…

In any case, I use my eeePC 701 to read many different electronic media using FBReader which is very easy to use and the netbook is light enough to hold like a book as Eldino shows on his own site.

Rob.

What’s the big deal? I have been doing just this with FBReader from the beginning. Ah, it’s about Windows…

Hallo,
es ist sicherlich sehr schwierig, die Funktionalität einer Netbooktasche mit der gewünschten Ästhetik in Einklang zu bringen. Die Business-Frauen sind ja bekanntlich auf dem Vormarsch und ich habe endlich, passend dazu, super elegante Notebooktaschen beim suchen nach neuen Trends gefunden. Die sind wirklich mal was außergewöhnliches und nicht so langweilig, wie man sie sonst kennt.
Natürlich kann sich zu einer eher einfacheren, funktionalen und gut gepolsterten Notebook Tasche entscheiden, aber wenn man zu diesen Kriterien noch einen besonderen Style und ein schickes Design bekommt, macht es doch Spaß, sein Notebook als ständigen Begleiter dabei zuhaben.
LG Anna
