Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

I just want a wee internet worthy netbook / laptop for my bro as he has mental health probs and is stuck in alot and I want him to have a hobby or atleast another interest! Bar sleeping
Vodafone sell the K3565 (see the other thread) and I imagine most of their modems would be compatible with the Betavine software. Unfortunately they seem to go out of their way not to tell you exactly which modem you're getting. It might be easiest to print out a list of compatible modems and take it to a Vodafone shop?

I have found out that the version of Linux on your mini-note is SuSE Linux. The download link and instructions for the SuSE packages are here. I'm afraid the instructions probably look a little daunting to a non-geeky person sad.

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]
For a no comment face,  , type [biscuit]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
