    addendum;

    Just dont try and plug your washing machine in to the mobile inverter..... :rotfl:
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    It can be cheaper, as well as handy, to keep a voltage transformer (12v to 240v) in your car.

    That way, you can use the standard power supply units for your computers, your 'phones and a variety of other devices instead of having to purchase specialised chargers.

    It also enables you to use items for which no 12v power supply unit is readily available. For example, I use a (compact!) printer/scanner/photocopier in my cars. (No; don't ask why. :cool: )

    best places to buy these and good price as well?so using this i would not need the car charger thing then for the notebook?

    as for the Acer One ., i installed my legit copy ,dont know enough about all the other 'lite' vers etc but i have NO problem whatsoever .the only thing i would add is - i am tempted to have a go at the touch screen conversion - again from that acer one forum site - really cool !
