Yes and yes! I love it because it's not heavy, goes anywhere and I can stick it in my catalog purse if I need it.

Which one do you have?
 
I use mine also. I have the Acer whateverischeapest thingie and I love it!
 
Question for those of you using netbooks and loving them...how many shows have you done? My hubby is concerned mine will be slow because I am on something like show 580 and all those shows in there he fears will fill up the memory...
 
Carolyn,
I just used mine tonight for show number 351 and it worked fine. I know that is only half of what you have but.... Anyway this was the first time I used mine at a show and it worked out really well. It should make my life alot easier.
 
I didn't transfer my old shows onto the new software. BUT... I am coming up on my second anniversary at the end of Feb as a consultant, so I am nowhere near 500 shows. I think I have about 130 on this computer? I got it last Feb and I remember looking at Dec show #'s being in the low 50's. So, ish.
Either way, it is still waaaaay faster than my PC. Hope this helps!!!
