They say that confession is good for the soul, don't they
This eeePC is supposed to serve for UK church visits. It shows every sign of doing that very well. It weighs FAR less than my laptop, is more robust, is quicker ( my poor laptop is starting to struggle just a bit. After all it is two years old ! :( ) and it will be so much more easy to cart about.
But it doesn't have a DVD drive and UFM produced this wonderful piece of art cinema called 'Bordeaux, Brittany and beyond' which churches can see if they want. But how ?
Well how do people watch films on their iPods and so on ? It must be possible to load a DVD onto a computer like you can load a song from a CD. (Rip, is what one says.)
Some Google searches later, with results in French, English and both at once, followed by downloading a piece of software onto my poor struggling laptop (the stupid DVD wouldn't read on the big computer) and Bob's your uncle ! The entire "Bordeaux, Brittany and beyond" DVD is now loaded on the little SD-card that fits in the eeePC.
After all this computing it'll be good to get back to talking to people.
