Home Forums Discussions General Discussion Netbook anyone?

Hi Ted:

I use my Acer for most of my hospital stuff (admission notes, discharge summaries) and when I go on a short trip. I'll soon place it into one of my 4 examination rooms. At home I use it for looking at Netflix movies when I'm on either another notebook or on my desktop, or both (hey, 3 computers at the same time is wonderful!).

Overall, my Acer netbook has to compete with 2 15" Dell notebooks, 1 17" Dell notebook, and 2 desktops that I use all the time! I would have 4 15" notebooks, but last year my trip to Italy pretty much did in one of my notebooks (i.e. the cobblestone streets) and another simply imploded.

For on-the-go stuff that I have to carry, though, there's nothing like a Netbook. Unless, of course, I have my handy-dandy-1GB thumbdrive with my EMR on it which can be used through any of my hospital's USB desktop connections. You see, they all have MS Office, including MS Access, which I temporarily borrow. I got the idea from a guy at emrupdate who uses his Word EMR (TSMR- http://www.emrupdate.com/blogs/show...cond-medical-record-with-gil-carter.aspx )
in this manner. You can't get any lighter than a USB drive!
