So far, I'm loving my new LG X120 netbook. When I put it beside my 24" iMac, it looks so cute. I should take a picture of it. :) Anyway I'm having some problems with it - namely PCs are so confusing to me after having my iMac for the past 2.5 years. Especially switching back and forth between then every few minutes. I don't know where any files are located and I keep trying to pull up my widgets and spaces.

But I cleaned up the programs, installed Google Earth, and got the wireless internet working pretty smoothly. Well, J got the wireless internet working.

And also, I don't think the LG Smartlink software works with my Mac, so I can't directly transfer files back and forth. When I link my computers up, all I get is a dumb .exe file, which clearly I can't use on my iMac. I'll have to transfer music the ghetto USB way. But that's okay, I guess.

The netbook came with its own soft carrying case, but I'm going to be on the lookout for some sort of neoprene case for it - something that's slim and not bulky, but will offer a bit more protection than the cheapo one that came with it.

    You are making me want a netbook even more than I already did, even though it serves no real useful purpose at this point in my life!

    Glad you love it!

    I have two computers, one Mac one XP and it's pretty easy to turn Windows file sharing on in the OSX preferences. From there it tells you your computer's address, usually something like afp:\192.168.x.xxx. Then on the Windows machine go into network places and set up a new one and enter the address of the Mac. Then you should have access to everything.

    I haven't bothered to figure out how to go the other direction, but that way I can copy things to and from the Mac on the Windows machine.

    Oh, and it only works if they're both on the same router (if the laptop is on borrowed wireless and the iMac is wired it won't).

    Maybe this'll help?
