Thread: Netbooks, what's the point?

-

i'm wondering, what's purpose existence of netbook?

@ first, thought ultra low cost pc's made primary purpose of browsing internet , reading email.

but, after doing bit of looking around, no cheaper full fledged laptops- ultra portability 10" screens draw them? i'd horribly annoyed trying view lot of pages on 1024 x 600 display anyway...

checked specs on one- http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82e16834152093 (selected random) , compared laptop on sale @ walmart same exact price- wallyworld laptop had 15.6" display, 3gb ram, 2.x ghz (might have been dual core, don't remember exactly), 250gig hdd, running vista...

missing something?

bm

portability?

listen to event

-
i have class extend nothing, possible have class listening events? i found no way this, unless pass object(like displayobject) constructor. quote: public class myclass{ public myclass(){ addeventlistener(event.enter_frame, onenterframe); } private function onenterframe(event:event):void{...} } thankyou hi, you can have class listen events produced other classes, if want own class generate events, need extend eventdispatcher class. btw, displayobject , it's descendants can produce enterframe event.
