Re: Low cost Netbooks for scouting

We have the same issues and have used paper forms with data entry with the help of inverters in the stands.
But, you may wish to take another look at the Zipit this year. Hak5 has some shows on installing Linux on it. Since it has a SD card slot, you could save data to a card rather than sending over wifi during the matches. The zipit price is dropping fast, some under $10 over the web.
Good suggestions,
Thanks, RayG
