Problem solved
I’ve solved the problems of the small eeePC hard drive. Nick and I have each bought a brand new Acer Aspire One! They have a hard drive of 160 GB. The screen is larger than the eeePC (10.2 cm instead of 7.0 cm) and the processor is faster. They come with Windows XP Home and 1 GB of ram which we got PC world to upgrade to 2 GB. We had to take out accidental damage cover but we get the first month free and can cancel after that! We just paid £14.99 extra for the ram upgrade which was a real bargain.
It is a bit of a challenge to see who can make their computer the fastest and who will have the most hard drive free. I reckon I’ll win the first bit but as Nick is not needing to install Outlook or OneNote he’ll win the second.
I still have to see if I can get ShareCalendar working but as I know a bit more about how it works and I’ll be able to do the Office updates I’m more confident about it working. Currently I’m still ploughing through the Windows updates. I don’t think I’ll have time ‘till Friday night to see if I can get it working :-(.
