I designed Mr. Tides for the minimum display size that Apple used in 2004, and since then displays have only gotten bigger. I never thought it would be run on anything smaller. Hmm. I'll have to think about this a bit, not sure how to crowd all the information onto a smaller window and still have it usable.

August,

Thanks for chiming in; when writing this thread, I forgot about you (and Mr. Tides) being right here & part of this forum. It is *very* close to fitting; I'll check again when I'm at that 'puter and see where the issues are. If you think of an easy way of adding some sort of 'scalability' that would be tres cool. If my nav. hardware plays nice with the netbook & MacENC, I would like to consider making it my primary boat computer; after all, don't want to do 'work' while out on the boat. A benefit of the netbook that I didn't think of is the SSD flash drive; in the event of freeze requiring rebooting the Dell is way faster than my mac; not that it ever needs it , but if it does, it's usually at the worst time.

Regards,
Shane
