You see, installing extra applications to the Eee PC is a pain and, if you manage to install one, getting it to appear on the Eee's Easy Menu is something of a black art. Yeah, I know I can look to installing another operating system (there are several Linux distros focussed on the Eee PC and there are ways to install Mac OS X (don't bother, I did it and it was 20 minute experiment that on the 7: screen wasn't worth the effort) or Windows XP (you'll need a legitimate copy of XP SP2 for it work) but why should I have to do that to do, what on the face of things, looks to be a reasonably simple task.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/50B4F2B5-0371-48E9-9452-F7209FAF4604/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
