Just a note of caution. If you are thinking of installing or showing others about how to install another operating system on to netbooks. You need to make sure that there is some kind of agreement between the person whose netbook is being changed just in case something goes awry. Also you need to make sure that they have saved any of their personal data before their operating system is erased and replaced.<br>

Tricky, thus my 2pm-8pm suggestion to capture daytime, post-work,<br>
& evening people in the city centre :-)<br>
