    • ]]>     The Asus Eee HE 10 inch screen has required some adjustment on my part.  I actually thought it would not, as I have used laptops many times.  But a netbook is different, significantly smaller.  And going from a 17 inch screen to a 10 inch screen, quite a change.

    I almost disabled Yoono, because trying to work on a small sidebar, on a small screen was becoming an aggravation.  But then realized that I have four toolbars taking up real estate at the top of my screen.  That’s no problem on a 17 inch monitor.  But it’s twenty percent of my screen on this netbook.  So, I turned off the navigation bar, and use the keyboard to navigate, though I sometimes miss it and turn it back on.  I turned off the Stumble toolbar, which I turn on when I feel like surfing and Stumbling.  And I set the Windows taskbar to autohide.  Ahhh, much better.  The F11 key has also become my new best friend.

    And I’m just plain having to get used to things looking different.  I can either see everything, smaller, or I can see one or two things at a time.  These are my choices.  Generally speaking, I only need to see one-two things at a time.  And as long as I can tab back and forth freely, it’s all good.

    Photo editing is challenging too.  And I haven’t figured the same workarounds for that yet, as I have the general screen layout.  But I’m sure I’ll think of something.
