hi Andy,
Well i bought the netbook today and am still thinking about this software.Only problem is on their website,they dont seem to be bothered about answering many questions in the forum....some reviews on the net say its good though.thirty quid with a free years updates dont sound too bad and the friend finder is a good idea too..but if theres no support it may aswell be a betamax cassette

now to make a sort of shelf/table to quick fit/quick release to the dash on the passenger side.
