Well done I did the same thing on mine when I bought it ...1GB to 2 GB. So glad I did, as it really works well with the extra Mem. I think you beat me easily on time though! Mine was fiddly with jewelers screwdrivers needed.

Ah, having done it before with 2 other laptops I had a good idea of what to do but I also found a youtube video which showed exactly how to do it and no screwdriver required. It was by far the easiest of all 3 jobs. It's one of those things that you only ever do every 2 years or so, and so each time you do it, you have a vague idea of what you're doing but can't remember the details and each machine is slightly different. But this little HP Mini is great, the back has a clip system under the battery for opening it so it's really easy to get at the innards. So practical. And it's a great little machine with 6 hours battery life. Now that it can cope with having a few different programs running at once it'll probably end up replacing my big laptop which I suspect may be beginning to show signs of senile dementia. Now where did I put that external disk drive... ;-D

Have you got a new notebook? I don't remember the HP ;D
I'm convinced notebooks are the way to go for mobile computing espec in vans. The battery life and compact nature are important as well as the ability to easily take to bed when it's too cold to stay out of the duvets. I've got a 10 or 11" screen which is compact but big enough to do normal computing on.
And you can always plug in a big screen or a DVD drive and speakers like I often do with mine. It has 3 USB ports.
I've got the ASUS clam shell. It's got a 350 GB HDD but your clip system sounds better for upgrades than mine.

I know... some of them are shit hot though. Wvw's got 360 keys and about 4 orbs from tourneys. I think number 3 was a guy, but he didn't really trouble the scorers on this one

Well done! And you beat the dog into fourth place Yes, the dog just didn't have those nifty mouse skills I won another orb in a tourney last night too, the Orb of Last Recount with only 100,000. I'm piling up on all the score multiplier orbs, so soon every tourney I enter, I'll get crushing scores and can win every orb going *evil cackle*

I didn't expect to win an orb with such a score, but I got lucky. And you can see I beat 4 babies and toddlers into 2nd and 5th place

That must feel even more satisfying when you've beaten the invisible man into third! drinkup What about the faceless lady in 6th .... oh yes, I just won another orb last night too... the orb of "stop timer" but I can't paste the graphic for that one yet as it's on another machine. Bet you can't wait though! Here I am waiting for an AA Relay in Wittering. I've got lots of time to spank level 38 for some more coinage so I can win more orbs next week

Many congrats Vern.... have NO idea what it all qbout but your scores are very impressive!! It's the Lost Bubble Game - Bubble shooter game on Facebook. One of the better Bubble Shooters, very nice graphics and good gameplay. www.facebook.com/LostBubble?fref=tsThe trick is to get through the game without paying them any money for the coins and power ups. You can win the power ups in tournaments but you have to be pretty good to get high enough scores.
