IMO a new HDD is not economical . Nor a external HDD cos it just becomes too bulky defeats the Netbook .

I guess you have pix and vids? If so consider moving them onto a USB stick you can get pretty big ones nowadays . Adobe authors / professional photographers has even external HDDs (USB 2 . 0) at the time off their laptops as their main editing computer so it can be done without being too slow .

1138909 2010-09-27 08:50:00 Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll post again when I've implemented some and let you know what helps. I'll definitely get Open Office Writer (only) and ditch the Word trial and Works. New software like Skype and a better media player I'll try to keep on the expansion card. regards, Bruce bruce666 (8727)
